Fucking fear mongers, do they actually believe this shit?

"It's much more potent than what they smoked at Woodstock," echoed Jim Cowser, a chemical dependency therapist in the Center for Behavioral Health at Baptist Hospital East.

A more recent style of smoking marijuana also is intensifying its impact. "During the '60s, there were mostly joints," said Dr. Elizabeth Garcia-Gray, chief medical officer of child psychiatric services for Seven Counties Services Inc.

"Now we have blunts, which are like two or three joints packed in one," she explained.

A blunt is a cigar hollowed out and filled with marijuana.

"When they pack it up in blunts, the potency is much more, and if they smoke four or five blunts a day, it's like 10 to 12 joints," she explained.
