The problem is.... USADA has banned it in competition, but the 150 level is really doesn't determine if someone is getting an affect from it during the event.
If you smoke everyday, your tolerance will go up and your blood levels will hover around 300-500 24 hours after use. If you eat thc, your blood levels will often be even higher. The only safe way to keep the levels below 150 is to stop about week out of a race if you are a regular user.
If they really want it banned solely in competition they need to develop a better method to determine if a given blood level is actually benefiting someone, the test right now is stupid and ineffective. Whether someone is a "habitual" user shouldn't matter, we're trying to determine if they have an effective dose in their system at the time of competition. Right now we're likely just punishing people because they use it a lot outside of competition.
