2. Would you mind linking to the research saying 30% of "chronic cannabis users" develop this problem?

Also, good green bud at dispensaries, even the top shelf stuff, it is BARELY distinguishable from good green indica bud like the Alaskan Thunderfuck I was smoking in HS in the 1980's. That nonsense about it being even 2X as strong as top-shelf 80's weed is an exaggeration. It's *maybe* 1/4 stronger that great 80's pot, in terms of EFFECT. Maybe THC level is some % higher, but THC biologically has a ceiling effect as well, that's why it's very difficult and uncommon to OD, and never fatal.

HOWEVER, there's not been a large % of the population smoking/eating/consuming THIS MUCH 100% consistently THC product like weed + gummies + vapes + resins + candy + sodas for days on end, for not THAT much money.

MY bet is this is less "chronic" users in the trad sense, but rather, people BINGEING really hard. Small chance it could be tainted product, the weed industry is somewhat cavalier with their genetic mods.

But I'll be keen to see some real studies for sure. It definitely needs explained!
