Citation 31 from the PLOS study:

>Regular recreational users according to the Australian National Alcohol and Drug Knowledgebase (NADK) [31] use 150-250mg THC per day with unknown concentrations and doses of the hundreds of other cannabinoids, including CBD.

This seems quite extreme with the citation linked stating that 76% report < 5 "cones/joints/bongs used per occasion" and only 14% report usage of "every day". This citation isn't particularly relevant to the study other than to compare the dosage prescribed vs. 'average', but data point seems off nonetheless.

Yeah 150-250mg seems a little crazy for regular recreational use. When I used to use edibles a single 15mg definutely did the trick for me. Maybe I'm a lightweight but I can't even fathom what 10, let alone 16 of those would do to me holy fookin shite

Higher tolerance is a thing. His body is used to it at this point

Just like how heavy drinkers seem to be able to drink more with less effects.

Plus Delta 8 has a different effect than THC. When I’ve taken it before in gummy version, it’s had little to now effect on my head, it’s mostly body high.

I used to smoke 1g/day. Assume its 10% THC, thats 100mg easily.

Seriously, those numbers are so messed up. I ingest fairly often, not every single day, and 10mg is a nice high. If I was taking 150-250mg a day I would be convinced life isn't real.

I can't even imagine what that much would do. I usually take like 15mg at night and it does the trick. One time I took 20-25mg and I could barely walk straight.
