Recently, I thought it might be interesting to start tracking how much weed I actually use because I didn't really know and could only guess.
 

I only dry herb vape, I don’t smoke, but I have about 30 small stainless steel reusable dosing capsules that load into my vaporizer (kind of like preloaded cartridges), and each one holds just slightly more than .2 grams of ground flower. What I normally do is grind up about 10 grams at once, empty out the used capsules and then refill them all, and that usually leaves me enough crushed flower that I store in a small plastic medicine container for refilling about half the capsules one more time before the full 10 grams is gone.

 

In the past, I never really kept track of how much I was using, and I don't restrict my use to a fixed amount per day, but then I became curious and started noting the date every time I crushed up another 10 g to get a clearer idea.

 

On average, 10 g seemed to last about two weeks. But the last time I crushed up 10 g and reloaded my dosing capsules was on the 29th of August, and today I needed to grind up another 10 g because I just finished off the last batch last night.

 

So if I count from the 29th of August, that means the last 10 g covered the final three days of August plus the first 16 days of September, which makes a total of 19 days. Almost three weeks this time, which works out to about half a gram a day. That lines up with the fact that I usually go through about three capsules in the vaporizer on an average day.

 

I guess for some regular users half a gram per day may not seem like much at all, and I guess it is not, but most days I don’t use any during the day. I usually wait until the evening, once I’ve finished everything I need to do. Three capsules seems like the right amount to carry me through the evening, into the night, and help me get a good sleep.

 

So I’m curious what other people’s usage is on average, assuming you are also a regular user.

yeah, me too.

had one of those and never touched the stuff since.

wonder where all that paranoia is coming from. lol. 

 

0.5g every night before bed to stop my arthritis from swelling and hurting.

No idea tbh, I have a king size Raw roller that I put a roach in, then the contents of a K/S ciggie which I then top off with whatever ground up bud I have, 10 grams lasts me for about 3 months.

There's so much 'good' from Marijuana I simply cannot understand how so many Governments and Authorities are against it.

 

Following surgical repair of a very painful sporting injury I was prescribed addictive opioids which I was keen not to take daily or habitually for a month....  Marijuana Gummies worked wonders, both as painkillers and a sleeping aid combined and prevented me from needing to take the prescribed pain killers containing codeine.... 

 

... and moving on - the Marijuana Gummies help for a solid night sleep to fight against Jet lag when I've returned to Thailand, infact they are perhaps too good - as after landing, I'm able to get about 14 hrs solid sleep which messes me up for the following night !!!

 

Thus: How many: Unfortunately - Nil for the most part, because I get regular medicals for work including a full drug screening and THC remains detectable for a couple of months (with heavy use) - thus... its the odd 'post flight' easing of Jet-Lag or one time use when I was quite injured and not working anyway.

 

The Gummies definitely have their place - its a shame this is not fully realised yet.

For pain/sleep, lasts 1-2 days.

It all depends on how much I can pull out in my garden.

I think up to a gram per day is pretty common for regular users. The medical cannabis clinics in Thailand prescribe a gram per day for medical use. Half a gram per day seems pretty moderate.

None since I moved onto heroin.

You are just being needlessly paranoid. 

when I indulged, 1/2 - 1 gr, maybe once a month.  Now I don't bother.  

If snoop dog is reading this he will be pissing himself

How can everyone stretch 3 grams to last more than an evening?

Off topic troll post removed

I'm at about a half gram several evenings a week. But, the sleep is terrible when I use it. How do people keep from being groggy the next day?

Daily average over the past six months...

 

20 mg (gross weight, not THC weight)

 

I bought an eighth; it lasted six months.

 

With an occasional edible total THC average weight per day ~ 5.5 mg

 

I'm an infrequent consumer.

Probably you had high percent sativa instead of lower percentage indica..but yes, I was much the same...getting para/panic in my youth after a point.

Twice a day: afternoon attitude adjustment (around 4:20 pm ), then about an hour after dinner.  Each dose is one conical bong bowl, comes out to app. 1 gram/day. If out and about in a relatively peaceful setting with not many people around, I'll do half a joint (if smoking alone) then do the rest that night.

If I go without I will have trouble sleeping that night, though I can sometimes get away with only one (or no) dose that day.  Two days without DEFINITELY, and the dreams will come, but they are more like violent Hong Kong action movies than the bucolic dreams mentioned in songs.

On the other hand if I do more than 2 doses that could cause insomnia too.

 

One morning I did an edible, waited all day and it never kicked in.  I had no idea I was coming down with a flu, until that night I had a fever dream re-living a violent experience from childhood that felt more like time-travel, but this time I was the one bearing the weapon.  I wish I knew how to duplicate the fever dream+weed experience.

 

Zero.  More like a couple of hits a year.

I gave up after I had a dream that some guy was bangin' on the door sayin "It's me Dave. Open up man, I got the stuff."🙃🙃

Maybe once a month one spliff, just for fun. As I once bought a too big amont of relaxing greenhouse weed, I made small portions in zip-bags and have them in the freezer, as light and temperature would decrease the THC until this will be finished.
