Heavy use would be skirting the line between use and abuse.

yes right but this might sound mad but its help me get off of lots of meds...
used take zopiclone and quetiapine then citalopram and propranolol on top
with the cannabis i have managed to drop the citalopram(depression) and propranolol(anxiety)
further more i changed too a combination of olanzapine and valproate and functioned alot better...
now have reduced further to just olanzapine (manic episodes, psychotic nature)
docs questioned at 1 time if was bipolar but now just think im schitzo with bipolar tendencies or the madnes it a side affect of me having aspergers lol
the plan with the doc as the olanzapine is playing with my hormones (growing moobs, wait gain , double chin, blood sugar probs, low test, thinks maybe affecting my hpta axis is affecting my thyroid too from a negative feed back loop sort of thing ect) is too try and switch on to abilify to see if i respond well to the anti-psychotic properties, which should be alot milder on my system

If it helps it helps. It's already recognized as a medicine in plenty of states. I can assure you it has medicinal qualities if your state doesn't say it does. I have no idea how good it is as an anti-depressant or psychotic. In my opinion the main medical uses that are clearly without a doubt present are eating, sleep, and nausea.
It really depends on how you even classify yourself as a heavy smoker or not. I have friends how probably only smoke 1g a max every 3 days but I'd say they are heavy users just by their reaction when they don't have weed. You shouldn't be mood dependent on weed. I know some people who blow a gasket if they don't smoke.

Once a day is what I consider heavy use, on the weekends moderate use, once every few weeks occasional. These days everyone puffs on weed every couple weeks so nothing less then that really.

the mood is stabalised with the olanzapine .. the cannabis just helps lots with depression and anxiety in my case. dont get me wrong in some cases it will do the opposite and could trigger shit. maybe with me its because its autism based. helps to slow my mind down and dull the senses abit and take my mind off shit while being in a generaly happy state of mind 
i dont think it does anything good for pschosis quite the opposite if in an episode its affects are magnified 
for me its not a trigger for episodes luckily
strange really as simple coincidences and events can build me up in to a frenzy but while stoned i dont care or notice as much i guess and any possible dopaminergic sides would me mitigated/modulated by the olanzapine.
and i prefer cannabis to taking more meds that could possibly fuck me up more in the long run!
want to leave olanzapine behind hopefully... its scary the sides and 1 in like 100 drop dead for no reason and it shortens your life expectancy

5g of wax a day is heavy use.
15g of pot is heavy use
I would even consider 3g of wax to be heavy use.. In my defense though, these Korova 1g(1000mg) Brownies combined with available wax has absolutely ruined me.
When I smoke, I usually use 1.4g bong bowls with a large butane torch. I will smoke 3 of these over 10 min to get me where I want now, the only reason it takes 10 min is because my lungs just hurt too bad now a days to get them all down in 1 hit at a time like in the good ole days.
Enjoy your COPD.

I was smoking for about a year straight, 3-4 times a day. About 1g of A+ bud everyday. Id consider that heavy use, i weigh 115.
But im sure it could be worse. My old neihbor would smoke 3-4 times a day, each time at least half of a blunt. Im sure he used 5g a day maybe a little less.

I wouldn't say it has a potential to be abused. IMO if you don't have a job and can only make minimum wage due to the fact you can't pass a random dry test then that person has a problem. More of an ambition and lack of maturity problem... This sites full of those types of people

Detached said: I am curious to know what you guys think qualifies as "heavy marijuana use"?
The clinical definition of a moderate alcohol consumption is 2 drinks or fewer a day for a male but I haven't stumbled upon any statistics to indicate what chronic marijuana abuse really constitutes.
I used to burn through a quarter oz in a few days and I kept that habit up for a few years while it was a viable option. Due to several factors, I have reduced my consumption to maybe once a day and an 1/8 of high grade bud now lasts me 2 - 2.5 weeks on average. 
I am rather happy with my routine and I feel like I am now using weed much more responsibly but I realize that is up for interpretation.
Thoughts?
Thats not too bad, ive seen worse. Grats on cutting back.

That's beyond heavy use and into compulsive addiction. I'd consider anything more than a gram a day is heavy. If your smoking more than a personal gram every single day your a heavy user IMO. That's pretty normal for a lot of people, but all that means is there are a lot of heavy users.
A moderate user might smoke a .4-.5 a day, which is a few bong rips. Even then the moderate user wouldn't do it everyday.
You'd be surprised how high your tolerence can go. 3.5 grams is about 6 decent sized joints or 12-15 bowls throughout the day. Its not as much as your thinking.

You're welcome to your opinion but I think you have a problem if you let your tolerance get that high.
I'm sure it would be different if I had an ass load of bud sitting around though.. maybe. An 8th would take all day to smoke out of vape.

My idea of a problem is interfering with your day to day. I never had a problem smoking that much back then

Dude 7 half gram joints a day is hell of a daily intake! If you smoke one every other hour which I imagine someone would do you are legit baked off your ass for every second of ever day. That is not a healthy thing to do.
