Today, on <a href="http://www.thefix.com/content/weeding-out-answers">The Fix</a>, he consults <em>The Pot Book</em>, an anthology that he also contributed to. He reads everything but "the boring bits" of the book, and still can't decide if pot is bad for him or not. So he gives himself the questionnaire designed to determine a condition of addiction in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.</p>
<p>Among other revelations, we learn that Mr. Pollack can take 20 hits off of a vaporizer then "happily" prepare dinner for his children. He sees this as a sign that he has developed a tolerance, but maybe his kids feel otherwise?</p>
