"Back in the day," the THC content of the average weed was
dramatically lower.

See: http://www.amazon.com/Botany-Desire-.../dp/0375760393

These days, one hit is equivalent in potency to a whole joint of the
stuff I used to smoke in "high" school.
I pretty much gave up weed at 17. I got to where I didn't enjoy the
effects, which is weird because in the preceding 3 or 4 years, I had
loved it, and smoked it every day, several times.
Weed is not a performance enhancing drug, so I couldn't care less
whether athletes use it. As for folks who support keeping it illegal,
I hope that something really tragic happens in your life. You deserve
it. It's because of busybody folks like you that many undeserving
people have gone to jail. Violent criminals have been released
earlier to make room for "vice" offenders. I really do hate you.
