How much is too much?

A zip a month might be too much for some, and insufficient for others. I wouldn't be too concerned with the numbers.

Whether you're a patient or a recreational user, if the amount you smoke encroaches on your day-to-day life, I would suggest you're overdoing it. I smoke as much as my day allows. If I have to work, or if I have a bunch of errands to run, I simply can't get too melted, or I wait until the evening for my first joint of the day. If I don't have anything specific to do that day, it isn't beyond me to burn through a few grams.

I'm not a medical marijuana patient (although I believe it helps me with anxiety), so I endorse 'responsible drug-taking' for recreational users. That applies to all 'drugs,' from alcohol to MDMA. You alone will know if the amount you consistently consume affects your ability to complete your daily tasks, or if it negatively affects your social/personal life.

My two cents.

An ounce could last me a month if I really tried, but I usually just like throw a party and it's all gone.

If you have a one-hit bong as opposed to rolling joints it'll last you longer, it all depends if you are by yourself or sharing. A quarter oz. of commercial "comfort" lasts me about a week. After harvest season (October) I smoke like a Rastafari.

Use a vaporizer. You can stretch your bud out 3-4x as long. Less than a gram(1 bowl) lets me smoke 2-3 times. Then you save the vaporized bud to make edibles. I just made a small batch of brownies with 10 grams of vaped bud. They turned out great and give a nice buzz!

On weekends I'm an all day smoker, but during the week I never smoke until I finish work and anything else I might have to do. On these days I don't normally medicate until at least 6pm. Once I start, I don't stop until going to bed. A zip lasts me about 21 days.

I am finished growing for the summer and now I have to face a problem, sort of. I need to save some product for my head, and the rest goes to friends. I smoke about a zip a month of good herb, and I was thinking of smoking less in order to have more to give out. Do you think smoking an ounce a month is normal, or do I have a problem and should get some help?

If I could, I'd smoke double that in a month, possibly more. The more I have, the more I smoke. This is why I no longer buy between harvests, it saves me money and forces me to preserve my smoke until the next harvest.
