Some choose not to and end up in rehab.
You should listen to this guy here, he has great wisdom. Back in the mid 90's i smoked just one little joint of marijuana... barely even tasted it and in less than a week i was sticking a needle in my arm 😀

He was also able to scrape a lot of it out of the stem of the bowl later on he said since most of it just liquified and ran down there.

Cannabis and the general practitioner – going to Pot
"The debate around cannabis has always focused on and been polarised by views on legalisation with the health effects largely un-debated. As general practitioners it is likely that over the years we will encounter greater numbers of heavy, dependent cannabis users, presenting with predominately mental health or respiratory problems. ......

Summary of adverse effects of cannabis [xxi]
Acute effects
Anxiety and panic, especially in naive users.
Impaired attention, memory, and psychomotor performance while intoxicated.
Possibly an increased risk of accident if a person drives a motor vehicle while intoxicated with cannabis, especially if used with alcohol and tranquilisers.
Increased risk of psychotic symptoms among those who are vulnerable because of personal or family history of psychosis.
Increase risk of low birth weight babies if smoked in pregnancy.
Chronic effects (uncertain but most probable)
Chronic bronchitis and histopathological changes that may be precursors of malignant disease.
A cannabis dependence syndrome characterised by an inability to abstain from or to control cannabis use, craving and tolerance to the physical and mental effects of the drug. The risk of dependence is estimated at less than 20% if the drug is taken more than five times and 10% for those who have ever used. Between 15-30% of users report difficulty in controlling their use and withdrawal symptoms are common in this group.
Subtle impairments of attention and memory that persist while the user remains chronically. intoxicated, and this may or may not be reversible after prolonged abstinence .
Possible adverse effects (to be confirmed).
Increased risks of cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx and oesophagus: leukaemia among the offspring exposed in utero.
Impaired educational attainment in adolescents and under-achievement in adults in occupations that require high-level cognitive skills.
Groups that are at higher risk of experiencing these adverse effects:
Adolescents with a history of poor school performance, who initiate cannabis use in their early teens, are at increased risk of using other drugs and of becoming dependent on cannabis.
Women who continue to smoke cannabis during pregnancy may increase their risk of low birth weight babies.
People with schizophrenia, asthma, bronchitis alcohol and other drug dependence, whose illnesses are exacerbated by cannabis use.
Summary of effects in non-vulnerable individuals
Panic attacks
Toxic psychosis
Functional psychosis
Summary of effects in vulnerable individuals
Individuals with mental disorder are at increased risk of misusing cannabis.
There is 4–6 times increase risk of cannabis misuse in schizophrenia.
Heavy use of cannabis is a probable risk factor for schizophrenia.
Cannabis use may worsen some symptoms of schizophrenia and increase the rate of relapse.
Heavy cannabis use may cause short term reversible cognitive impairments in adolescents.
Originally posted by darvlayNo, it wasn't resin. Like I said, he stuck a blob of hash in the bowl and we tried to smoke it. It did smoke to some extent, but a lot of it just liquified and went down the stem. I know the difference; I scrape my bowl every week to get that last little puff before I have to be responsible for the rest of the week.
