Can you guys leave comments on how long you've been smoking, and how it effected your tolerance specifically to cannabis? Please say the duration, length between highs, amount of highs, strain of cannabis, and of course, the amount of cannabis taken, and by what method...

For me:

I've been smoking on and off for 3 years now, been high maybe 5 times. 1-4 months between each session, from dirt weed to high quality kush. The first time was disturbing, I smoked 3+ bowls of kush. After that unfortunate incident, I've gotten high (Always by smoking, either from a joint or pipe, more recently from bongs) more cautiosly, but lately, not caring if i take too much. I actually want to O.D. again, i haven't been that scared in a while i want to experience it again, as crazy as that sounds.
 
OD on weed? good luck sir.

Any tolerance I have is pretty much shot away from a 2 week break, though the experience is not new so it's not like the first time by any means. I've been smoking for roughly 9 years regularly, more since my first time. Mostly headies.
 
He means getting "too high" i suspect....


And, i smoke 1 small (25-50mg) bowl per night on average. Tolerance is at steady state. Tolerance was higher when i was living with some other stoners, but i never pinpointed when it happened, because, like, they just kept passing that bowl when i smoked with them, and any tolerance i got was sorta offset back then - they just kept getting better and better weed... the best was a strain called "The King", and a couple hits of it, and i'd be seeing patterns on the wall. It was amazing stuff.

Now what i'm smoking is headies, and i don't seem to build tolerance - but i only smoke once, maybe twice a day.
 
So better weed obviously means that you get higher...but does better weed increase your tolerance quicker too?
Like after smoking some bomb ass weed..it must suck to go back down to average kinda stuff?

Depends, I can smoke headies and then get by with some average sensi just fine. Schwag would be a no go.
 
Tolerance is a bitch. I've been smoking for about 9 years, just like chainer. The first couple years, weekly, then the last 5/6 or so, daily. I tend to pack up a bong or bowl and take hits here and there throughout the day, and sit and smoke a bowl or two at night. Tolerance is a fucking bitch, even on great bud I'm a little jealous when everyone else is high as a kite and I'm not there yet...I think I'm gonna need to be visiting that Taking A Break thread sometime soon, sooner than I'd like.

OP, theres no "OD" on weed, you just got really really high.
 
I've been smoking daily for about 5 years. Tolerance is a bitch indeed. If I don't restrain myself and just smoke as much as I want, I can burn through a half ounce of high end bud in a week. A week or two off largely resets my tolerance, but within a day or two of smoking again my tolerance is mostly back up. When you smoke daily, it doesn't really feel like taking a drug anymore. I get an immediate rush from smoking, especially if it's the first time that day or it's been a few hours since my last sesh, but I don't really go from not high to high and back to not high in between each dose.

Taking a break can really suck after coming off of such heavy use. I feel strung out, have difficulty focusing on difficult tasks, can't sleep, and have very little appetite.

i believe so, i think the higher you get in any given session directly influences the amount you'll need for you next high, also the time between

alot of people over smoke,

you don't need to smoke a joint to get high, you need to smoke one good bong hit, unless you have a tolerance, peple jump in, smoke a shit load, and unless they are anxiety prone, they just reach a certain level of bake where they cant go much higher, nad htey just bruise your tolerance

Im Exactly the same :X
 
I have smoked for 5 years everyday and my tolerance is high to get stoned I must smoke fat bongs as joints just don't do it
 
I've been smoking for 6 years, took a year long break from the fall of 07 to the spring when I started up college, only smoked twice during that time. Now and for the last year and a half I'm an every day smoker. Sometimes I'll just take a few hits, sometimes I'll smoke bowl after bowl and blunt after blunt. I usually smoke from bongs, just got introduced to a vaporizer recently. Any tolerance I build up really only affects my high from lower grade weed, and lately I've just been smoking headies anyway so it hasn't mattered. Any time I do feel like my tolerance is getting too high, or if it's just getting too routine, I'll take a break for a week or two or even a month, and then everything is back to zero.

I am actually only about a month or so back into smoking after taking a break for a month while I waited for a drug test for a promotion at work. I didn't mind being around it while I wasn't smoking and my tolerance is still really low so I'm getting high off just a little
 
ive just started becoming a regular smoker. the past five years or so i would only smoke if a friend offered but now ive started buying my own weed. certainly not daily, weekly usually, i go through an 8th once a month or so. i dont really have tolerance problems at this point hopefully i wont have to worry about that for a while :)
 
^^ I would advise keeping it a monthly thing otherwise it gets boring you will not get laughing fits you will get mood swing i personally would quit Eilat your ahead as it gets pretty hard after time
 
I find after a couple of weeks of zero smoking, my tolerance is about back to normal. Obviously how high you get depends on the quality of the bud, I smoke headies about 80% of the time, and if not, some decent beasters.

Tolerance can come back really quick for me though. Say, four or five days, smoking 3-4 times a day, I'll be back where I was right after my T-break. The 3-4 times a day is pretty regular for me though, been doing it since I was 15 or so (ever since I got a job).
 
I started about a month and a half ago. Smoked about 3 days a week and now almost every day. For about a month i would get really paranoid, my heart pounding and i would hear noises,now i can get stoned as hell and can controll my paranoia some what ok...
 
Started when I was 15, became every day by the time I was 16, stopped when I was 18. Started again when I was 23 and have been smoking on the weekends ever since. I have a really low tolerance, I usually just take a hit every 4 hours or so and I get really wasted.
