I've been a daily pot smoker for about a year and half, usually it's good bud.

I'd take about two hits and be really high for two or three hours when I was a drug newbie. I couldn't believe how strong it was (compared to alcohol for example).

But these days I take roughly ten hits over 10-15 minutes and just enjoy the half-hour high, I kind of enjoy it while I smoke it and then the high mellows out.

Do you find this typical, have you experienced this yourself, what have you experienced, etc.
I know it's tolerance, but I was hoping for something more specific, like how it was for *you* or your friends, or other specific things.

I have to smoke a little more but a good bong, and good bud, will stone me for a few hours. I have noticed the same tolerance you have though. I try different strains when that happens to see what the difference is and if I can find a strain to get me out there in the no pain zone.

When I started smoking weed in 1974, it was a whole different world. Everything has completely changed. Imagine getting a "lid" basically a measurement of four fingers up on a sandwich baggie, for $10? We cleaned the stems and seeds out by mashing clumps of weed in our fingers over a shoe box lid tilted down to let gravity take the seeds down. We grew the seeds if we had a place to grow, but nothing special ever came from that. We didn't know how to grow!

I saw a huge hash bar once that a Vietnam Vet had managed to bring back from somewhere in Asia. Now all I see is small hash pieces for sale in the dispensary. I used to see Thai Sticks and I never see weed from Thailand anymore. We used to get "Colombian" which was the absolute shit if you were connected enough to get it. I never see weed grown in Columbia anymore.

I never ever saw "honey oil" before I got my medical card, but it's legit. I like to rub it on a swisher before I roll a blunt. That's definitely pain relieving!
 
If anything, cannabis continues to grow in strength due to improved growing methods. Unfortunately where I live, I never see anything but regular seed and stem border bud. That's one of the reasons I stopped smoking. Well, that and probation. But if I did start smoking again, it would kick my ass in the beginning. But the high would gradually taper off the more I smoked. Stop smoking for a while and smoke again. You'll see it's just tolerance.
 
From what i hear the dealing game has changed a lot. My dad always tells me stories about how back in the day he knew a guy who got garbage bags full of pot who would let you weigh out your own shit. Pick the stems and seeds out be everything. Throw in free hash. Front it. Basically hookin you the fuck up. That shit dont really happen as much as it use to. Seems like today the customer is the one kissin the dealers ass. Not the dealer kissin the customers ass kle it should be. I would kill for dealers like my dad had. They once let him and a buddy pick out as many hits of acid they could find in this shag carpet. They dropped 10000 hits.
 
I started smoking at 12 years old in the late 80's ,around 89 I think and we got a joint from a friends parents who are old hippies who grew and new local growers.The weed was light green,no seeds, and smelled like a christmas tree.It was smooth hitting even for a first time smoker and after about 5 or 6 hits I was very high,my first time and I got high as hell.Anyway I smoked this kinda weed (sinsemilla) until about 1995 when I graduated high school and ran arou.nd with some older school friends who sold pot,but it was bricked up,and seedy shit! I had never seen or smoked brick weed until I was 18! Luckily I still knew the old hippie growers and bought the better mid-grade sinsemilla they grew,and also in 1996 I first smoked some high grade indoor shit,that was free to smoke but was very expensive.Sadly most of the weed where I live is brick ,and it takes some friends or family who grow ,mostly indoor nowdays to get good high grade for 1/2 of what they charge retail(the dealers). The price of shwag is cheap ,but it sucks and the high grade shit the dealers sell is way over priced IMO,especially since I get the same or better indoor high grade for 1/2 or free from freinds and family growers...I have not smoked or bought any brick shwag weed since the late 90's and I wish it was not around and that mids were available more for the same price as the shwag and also wish the high grade the dealers sell was the price I get it for.Peace.
 
went from getting stoned and being an idiot stoner in grade 8........

to smoking for medical reasons, and in a mature social settings....
 
honestly.. after a simple 1 and a half month break the longest i went in almost 3 years i smoked maybe 5 or 6 hits after a few beers and was straight fucked up.. felt like the highest i had ever been lol! but tolerance is a killer to your high sometimes you still get high but just not there.. especially using bongs all the time
 
this comment is some what derailed, so i apologize in advance.....but

i found with pot, but to be completely honest, more so LSD..... i got so mentally used to being completely fucked up....that on all other substances my tolerance went up.

Do you expect to see it? We're in California and the bud (literally) grows in our backyard. Importing marijuana from another continent would be so much more trouble than its worth. There's a reason why it doesn't happen. Beyond the logistics, supply and demand (and the advancements in genetics in the past ~30 years) keep there from being a need to import marijuana like was done in the 60s/70s. Especially to us here in California. Now, what the fuck is this thread about?
 
I just smoked today after a 3 month break because I had to take a drug test for a job that I got and passed I may add :D. Shared a blunt with my homie who I use to share blunts with day in and day out just us on 2 on a blunt usuaylly and this time I couldnt even get half way into the blunt I was too high and it was awesome lol. Im gonna start smoking only on weekends or every other weekend now so I can keep my tolerance low.

Hi Frank. I appreciate what you're saying but if you grow some weed outdoors in good soil (even in the UK) using technology available for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years and you can quite easily have bud that pisses over any weed grown in the latest fancy hydroponic technology.
 
There is no doubt in my mind that us the myspace generation (yeah Im corny) are master growers compared too our fathers. Im about too turn 20 and Ive grown pot that has made old timers go O.O
 
I smoke like 3 times a month and a little gets me buzzed. I still need the same amount to get me fully blown, but it seems like once I reach a peak, I cant get any higher.
 
I think its easy to look back on the old days with fondness. I'm positive there have always been shitty dealers and shitty weed. The good stuff just stands out in your mind more. Its true for me too. I remember shwag that tasted and smelled great and got me high as fuck for 25 bucks a quarter and that was like only 10 years ago. And getting headies from my friend whose brother followed phish and the buds were good as anything you can get now.

And (if I ever have kids) I'm not going to tell them about brick weed and shady dealers, I'll tell them about an old buddy who would give away bubble hash and headies every fall.

I remember smoking a joint with my dad and step mom and when I was breaking it up they're like "what no seeds?!"
