Delightful. Having daily exposure from birth to age nineteen, I've often wondered how badly that affected me developmentally. It would explain a lot.

In their simulation, the highest exposure was about 12 nanograms per Kg per day in toddlers. I wasn't able to get a sense of the significance of this exposure - I skimmed, maybe it's there. Is this a lot or a little? There's always going to be some number that comes out of the simulation.

For context, my neighbors smoke pot and I can smell it in my house and hate it. I welcome any research that makes it socially unacceptable to smoke near other non-participants.

A 100 kg adult would get 1.2 micrograms per day, this claims a small joint has 40 mg of THC

and this claims people notice theraputic effects from 3 mg ingested

So it doesn't seem too significant.

I think the adult gets less - the 12 ng is for 12kg toddlers who lick more stuff and weigh less. The adult exposure is .8 ng / kg / day.

In most places, there's probably worse stuff people are being exposed to in their house.
