(snip)Yasmin Hurd, now at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, and colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, gave 4-week-old rats THC,(snip)"The researchers injected the rats with the THC equivalent of about three-quarters of a joint (scaled down for a rat's size)"(snip)(from article about stupid study)

I don't know; I know a lot of potheads who never progressed to heroin. BTW, earning a paycheck by getting rats stoned must be a real hoot.

3/4 of a joint for a baby rat?

The equivalent dose for a 170 lb. human would be - 2,000 joints with the estimated weight of the rat at one ounce!

Science - my @$$!

It says 3/4 of a joint "scaled down for a rat's size"
