Average school boy stoner or graduated professional and functional addict? There is a bit of a difference. The majority of full time stoners, not exactly functional usually dealers could easily smoke 10-20 ciggarette sized joints in a day. A functioning addict could smoke 4-5 a night. Schoolboy stoners might smoke 2-3 a day.
4-5 a night is very common, at least where I've come from. I'd say about as common as someone who drinks 4 beers in a night after work. Not the total norm but not crazy or anything either.

It helps that marijuana is not addictive in most of the population.

For those interested, to expand on the above. Physically its not addictive in any of the population, if you are predisposed to addictive tendencies you can very easily build up a pschological dependency which isn't totally hard to break but there is about 8 days worth of withdrawals to go through, the first 4 or so which can be pretty emotionally intense.
That may be true, but how much does your average pot smoker actually smoke in a day? My dad was a two-pack-a-day cigarette smoker, which is forty cigarettes. I have yet to run into someone who smokes four cigarettes worth of pot in a day, and while I'm sure they must exist from what I can see the average is more like an amount similar to the tobacco you'd find in a quarter of a cigarette.
