im a major pot head i spend like all my money on it and yeah i still enjoy it but thanks to tolerance i have to smoke a shit ton for a decent high. someone suggested i should start smoking hash oil instead so i dont have to smoke so much to get high and i can save money. has anyone tried this? oil gets me higher for sure but i feel like in the long run it would just make my tolerance higher and i'd end up spending the same amount of money just on wax instead of bud. anyone have any advice?
 
this is just a recipe for getting an insane tolerance to dabs and maybe even not feeling regular weed at all anymore. tolerance break and cutting down on consumption is the sensible solution, if you start to smoke a bit less every day, you won't feel that much of a difference but in the long run smoke less weed.
 
yeah that makes a lot of sense i just wanted to make sure. i keep trying to cut down just doesnt happen haha. but your right switching to dabs isnt gonna help
 
I agree with Bagseed 100%.


Are you in a medical or legal state with easy access, livinghaze? Because I was in a similar headspace several months ago. I ended up getting real serious about kief collecting, and manage to have about 4g of the stuff at all times in addition to whatever tree I'm smoking on. So now, my daily habit is smoking "de-kiefed" weed most of the time, and when I really want to get high I fill a bowl up with mainly kief and I'm an astronaut for the next couple hours.




's'all about moderation, brutha. Get that tolerance down (which, despite popular belief, can be done while still continuing to smoke-- you just have to be super vigilant about smoking much less than you typically do) and try to limit how much and how often you smoke. I know it sounds like a bitch, and it definitely is a bitch when you're a legitimate weedhead, but it's worth it in the long run. I never want to be like a few of my friends who can chainsmoke 1g+ blunts like cigarettes and not feel a thing other than itchy eyes because they've been stuck on dabs for so long.
 
i dont live in a legal or medical state i just spend a lot of time making drug deals haha. but yeah im gonna try to cut down to only smoking at night if i can. thanks for the tips. im gonna stay away from hash oil i guess, its too expensive and difficult to smoke anyway
 
Try starting up a kief collection, bro.

Get a decent 4-piece grinder, throw a coin or two in the middle compartment, dry your weed out as much as possible, and shake your grinder gently for 30sec-1min whenever you break down a gram.



The weed definitely becomes less potent and yet still gets me perfectly baked, but the occasional kief-bowl is like a kick in the nuts, man.... but.... but in a good way, though.



If the tree you smoke is high-quality, after breaking down 7g-14g the bottom compartment of your grinder should be nearly full, if not before that. Sounds like a lot of weed to break down and smoke through to start collecting kief, but if you smoke the way you say you do I feel like it'd be a drop in the bucket. I'm also not saying to do this all at once, lol.


Problem with using super-dry weed to do this, though? Inevitably, it allows a little bit more plant matter to sift through the screen with the kief than it would if you used nugs with a little more moisture..... but that shit makes no difference to me. As long as my kief isn't bright green I know I'm doin' just fine.




The reason I asked if you had easy access is because this kind of thing would be so much easier if you could just go to a store and buy the shit without having to gather it yourself from the weed you smoke.

Its totally up to you, but beware ye tolerance will skyrocket if you just use hash oil, dabs, etc. Treat it like candy, don't over do it or it will take you a month to get your tolerance down so that even 20+% thc bud won't touch you. Its great once or twice a day but more than that and you gotta blow mad bud to get high. Have fun.

I find the highs to be different with flower and oil. I'll smoke only oil for a few months, and then go back to flower. They equally get me stoned in different ways, but the flowers definitely seem more full spectrum vs. the oil. Probably has to do with butane leaving behind certain parts of the profile.

I think alternating between the two every few weeks or months works well, and I don't see my tolerance ever shooting up to the point where I don't get high off either. Both have their benefits and they can equally get stale, but switching it up between the two and smoking a new kind of errl every week seems to work for me.
 
Don't do it, for years I only smoked the strongest haze and hash oil and at one point from normal weed I could smoke a gram and be high for 15 minutes.

BUY A VAPORIZER!
 
Recently i had hit a wall with the g/f where we were smoking 4g each in about 4 blunts a day and getting no where. We systematically cut back so it was actually really fast once we switched to the bong to not get high rather then waste endless weed not getting high it was only about 1.5-2 months before our tolerances stabilized and we started getting high again. She was worried it wouldnt go down because we cut back to about 1.5g each a day so we split an 1/8 now but for the longest time even after about a month of a lower dose we didnt get high but somehow we do now.

We are now at 1 or 2 blunts shared a day instead of 3-4 personal ones. I fully recommend cutting back or switching methods dealing with the boredom and not getting high because it is worth it. I can smoke a blunt with 5 people take 8 hits and get somewhere where as 4 moths ago i would have passed smoking with people as it was a waste of their weed. Switching to dabs will only make it worse and they may not even work as you thought they would... sometimes i even get too high now :)

I switched to mostly smoking oil unless with friends and I spend about the same amount on getting stoned just get stronger stuff. I inhale less smoke and get more THC... not a terrible way to go if you don't care about saving money, but like you and most everyone else has said it will raise your tolerance. For example last night my homie came by and we took some dabs, then smoked a fat blunt and I took a few dabs after just for shits and giggles because my friend was talking about how high he was and I was like "i bet I can get higher"... tbh I basically gave up smoking flower unless its with friends because now I smoke a joint and want another one.
 
When I did this, it completely fucked my life up.

I fiended the hash oil like a crack head and the physical withdraws were worse than opiates (like an 80mg oxy habit).

I puked my guts out for a month, lost around 30 pounds, ruined weed forever for myself, caused myself permanent brain damage and triggered an extreme anxiety / panic attack disorder.

Although weed probably would have done this to me anyway. It's all the same shit, hash oil is just a really abusable form of it. The euphoria I was getting was insane... like more than heroin! Until it fucking ruined my life that is.

The truth will come out in our lifetime. The damage done, addiction risks, and mental illness risks will be realized to be so severe, that I predict weed use will substantially drop within the next decade. It's all going to come out with legalization as it is legitimized and more scientific studies are conducted. High potency thc is so new to the human body and it's just way too potent for human consumption, essentially if you're doing this you are as much of a guinea pig as a daily RC user.
 
you really got physical withdrawal symptoms from quitting hash oil? its been a really long time since i've gone more than half a day without weed so i guess idk how i'd feel if i stopped cold turkey at this point, and i get terrible anxiety when i run out and im waiting to reup but i didnt think it was possible to get physically hooked to it. other than not being able to sleep without it

Try it one day for the hell of it.

It won't kill you, but I'd be willing to bet money you'll find it more unpleasant than you remember sobriety to be.
 
I just got a vaporizer and am going to transition to it as completely as possible. Lately I have been smoking budder and shatter as well as multiple strains of great weed. The vaporizer is pretty good it is the new Pax 2
 
Personally think that physical w/d post is bs.....worse w/d than oxy? Idk man.....I too run out of oil sometimes ....but no physical w/d's....maybe can't sleep good n irritable but nothing like dope w/d's like u said lol but I will say this, I haven't had great oil lately, passed couple days I was smoking reclaim....b4 that only minimal oil....take fat dab of chem last night then homie busted out the WCC Paris OG ....made me question my entire life lmao, thought my 2 friends set me up like they knew how powerful the shit was n wanted me to smoke it for the awakening...after waking up this morning I know that isn't the case but reguardless, never want to b that high again lmao felt like a crazy person, I was most deff tripping w/o the visuals lol I was mind fucked & a half last night fuck that shit
