[MEGA] Cannabis/cannabinoid tolerance

my advice is similar to others:

don't smoke too much. It's a weird high and newbies often have trouble even realizing they're high, because its way chiller than they expected. It takes a while to really kick in, and the high builds over 30 mins or so (for me), and so keep it low and have a good time.

For the question about smelling like pot, I suggest staying far away from that type of mindset. I've never been caught, and its been like 8 years, because I don't worry about that shit. Most times people high end up getting "caught" because they are worrying about acting funny, and as a result, end up acting even weirder.

Take a good bottle of eye drops with you, and forget about any worries. Just have fun acting like a child again~

I disagree. Actually I think it goes from 1-2 minutes to get to full blast after you finish smoking the proper amount, then it decreases from there.

30 minutes? You're talking like half the duration of ecstasy build, bro. lol.
 
2 whole days? I wouldn't worry too much. Take a day off if you really think it's necessary.

Agreed.


I've smoked daily for 7 years with very few periods of not smoking, and lately I'm thinking of dropping it down to 3-4x a week. I'm a small chick but never drop out of a rotation, and I feel like my pot use has become part of who I am (although i don't look the part at ALL, I've had people ask if they could smoke around me to which I replied with a smile and packing a bowl up myself. But, my tolerance sucks, especially wake n bake and then smoking all day, I feel like I don't get stoned anymore. Two days in a row and I really wouldn't worry.I have a relatively small alcohol tolerance (was pretty large at one time), a very small opiate tolerance, a small amp tolerance, and a decent tolerance to benzos...yet, my cannabis tolerance of all things is through the roof. Shit happens, man.
 
After I go past 3-4g/day (only around harvest) something weird happens. The passive effects disappear, I get less high but it still does work, just need a lot. I can smoke a few bowls of indica with morning coffee at that point and still go out without appearing too wasted or slow. I've never experienced a point where I don't get high anymore, weird?
 
At the beginning of the year, I was using one gram a week of high grade medical cannabis. It has been steadily creeping up since then. Now, I am up to three grams a week, plus a little hash.
 
Im living proof of tolerance man.
been smoking 2 years almost daily about 2-3 times a day(these numbers vary over the course of 2 years, some days i dont smoke, some days ill blow a quarter).

Its as simple as this man, my first time i smoked reg 2 blunts 3 heads, got really fuckng high.
Now i can still get high off 2 grams of reg but no where near as high as i got way back in the day.
A gram of reg for my solo smoking used to last me like 4 days!!
now it lasts a few hours.

Try this man, just smoke some good dank, same shit every day for a week. then at the end of the week you wont get near as high off the same shit. Now if you smoke diff shit, each time , it takes more to build up tolearnce since different weeds are different.

But yea its one of the most tolerance building substances since it stays in your fat and blood stream for a while.
Peace

Yea man i notice this too, if you smoke constantly its harder to get high after you stop. You will always get high affter smoking, sometimes just lest high
Im at the point i go into questionable places high lol and nobody notices, even if they did come on, they cant arrest you for smelling like reefer haha.
Once you get to the point that you can handle your shit, theres no turning back unless you quit for a while

I hope that hacking cough i have is just my lungs tolerating all the hot smoke i pump into them, by coughing up resin, and not fucking cancer or something lol

This is way too true. I almost wish I didn't know how to act normal in front of cops or if I'm at a store out in public, or when I was a student going to class, or going to sorority events...etc. It just seemed second nature...even a few days/week break and I can still handle my shit. Guess you're right, and it's gonna take an extended one. Then again, who knows, since I don't drink much but if I get drunk I still know how to handle myself, and I haven't drank heavily in a couple years now (not the biggest fan of alcohol but everyone has their fun during undergrad in college.)
 
I've never needed more than a one week tolerance break. After that amount of time, I'm good to go again for a while. However, I don't need to take tolerance breaks often. The last one I took was last year.
 
Smoking the same strain a lot is one sure way to lose the effects fast. Most of the growers I know like to trade with each other just to get variety and I always grow 2(-3) strains in every project. Partly because when exploring new ones you might not be satisfied with the results, but also partly because the tolerance seems to vary with strains. Maybe there's a different balance of cannabinoids but it does work for me.

Big Bud is a great example, I can grow a tolerance to that in 2 days to the point when even wake & bake does almost nothing. Still, if I smoke another strain it's like I have barely any tolerance.

Btw, I hate Big Bud. I hope we can forget about yields in the near future and instead get the strains we like. Of course for someone who intends to sell it makes sense to grow a mega yielder but I no longer buy any weed because of the random quality and effects. If I run out between grows (and I usually do), so be it. Taking a break is great for clearing up the head.

WHEN the prohibition ends, great highs will be had by all!
 
well ive never been a big smoker. id smoke once a week tops. but since ive quit using amphetamines ive been wanting to smoke more often. so i smoked, took a day off, then smoked two days in a row then took yesterday off and was wanting to smoke tonight. i dont know why but i love marijuana more than i use to for some reason.

id love to be one of those people who smoke everyday but i like how high i get now from just a few bowls. i dont want to be like smoking 5gs a day and hardly getting high. i dont know maybe ill smoke what ive got now over next couple days then just refrain from buying more and thatll be my break.

I'm sorry, but that's just bullshit. Cannabis tolerance generally builds to a modest level and then tapers off. Not many people smoke more than an eighth a day. Compare that to opioids- there's no ceiling to opioid tolerance, and users can end up taking doses that are hundreds of times larger than those they started with. Amphetamine and cocaine users can escalate their dose to ungodly levels. Benzodiazepine users can end up taking dozens of times their original dose. In fact, I would say that cannabis is one of the least tolerance-building recreational drugs. I also don't see what a long half-life has to do with tolerance.
 
I have to agree with Vader. It takes me a long while to build up a big tolerance to cannabis. I can start getting tolerance in the first week with opiates and benzos, for example. I started taking Vicodin last Wednesday (for a broken foot), and I am already starting to notice it a little bit.
 
We always got told horror stories about cannabis tolerance in the early grades of school. It was the black and white version that comes with the other lies, you need more until you need stronger substances and so forth, no exceptions.

Half a lifetime later weed works just as well as always and I am claiming it actually works better. Not that you get those first giggly highs anymore but for some reason I really do enjoy it a lot more than in the early days and I know for sure I'm not the only one. If you smoke 24/7 you will get tolerance but I think that takes care of itself, the first time you have as much to smoke as you like is great but you soon realize just sitting and smoking is pointless and takes away all the enjoyment.

Anyone else enjoy weed more as they get older or even have a theory why?

Because man im saying its easier to quit heroin or something for a few days then get higher probably because it takes weed weeks to leave your system and thats a fact. THC is NOT water soluble like HEROIN or AMPHETAMINE, but is released through fat or something of that nature

The fact that THC is fat soluble and hangs around in your system longer than amps or opiates does NOT mean it's easier to stop using than those drugs. Cannabis is mostly psychologically addicting, and as Vader mentioned, drugs like opiates/benzos/amps also have physically addicting properties. Just because weed is in your system longer does not make it harder to quit, or harder to drop your tolerance. The shit sitting around in your fat cells are just inactive metabolites, which is why they show up on a blood/pee test but you aren't stoned 24/7 until they leave your system.
 
I find that after smoking multiple times daily for roughly a week without any breaks, I end up not being able to get nearly as high as I'd like.
