There was this study that he (Donald P. Tashkin) was involved in.

jimmunol.highwire.org

I noted : "intermittent administration of THC (5 mg/kg, four times/wk i.p. for 4 wk)"

5mg / kg

This is 100 times more than the average user ingests. I wonder if the mice ever woke up during the whole test. 5 mg is about right for a 100kg person.

If you used that much aspirin, you would be dead.
