Marijuana Tolerance???
Are there any other people out there that don't believe you can gain a tolerance from marijuana? My marijuana use has ranged from smoking 7+ times a day, not smoking at all, and everything in between, and I have never thought that I had a low or high tolerance. Even when I was smoking a lot, one hit of good weed would definitely have me feeling the effects.
In contrast, I don't have a ton of experience with opiates and amphetamines but I could easily tell I was building a tolerance with those when I would use every day or every other day for a week or two.
I've always believed this but I was surprised when my College PSY book confirmed it. Quote "And unlike alcohol, which the body eliminates within hours, THC and its by-products linger in the body for a month or more. Thus, contrary to the usual tolerance phenomenon, regular users may achieve a high with smaller amounts of the drug than occasional users would need to get the same effect." I'm not saying this is fact but it makes since to me. I think its just like addiction for marijuana, you can definitely have a mental addiction/tolerance, but not a physical one.
If anyone has any kind of actual prove that you can gain a tolerance from heavy marijuana use I'd love to see it.
