"tolerance"---NO SUCH THING

when i first started smoking weed it was like real drugs.. i smoke everyday these days and everyone once in awhile it will be real intense, i believe in tollerance but i also believe that the mind has something to do with how high u get. i smoke much more in a session than i did when i was noob(obviously as it seems most ppl on this board do as well)

but this is why i believe it has to do with mindset: if i have to go to work or school or anything else important i can take a few hits and be high as fucking hell, but if im jus chillen nd theres no plans i can smoke and smoke and smoke nd get ripped

also sometimes if i dont expect to get that high nd im only trying to reach a certain range of highness i get baked but if i get all pumped and really get psyched about getting the highest i have ever been i can smoke so much before i reach the desired effect

From personal expirence i can say this:

i was smokin dank weed for 2 months daily. the first few weeks i would get so fuckin baked. eventually the highs started getting to be less and less satisfying. i needed much more to feel high and it wasnt nearly as strong of a high. near the end, i was barely even getting high at all and it would take a good 3 fat bowl-packs. and yes, this was the exact same kind of weed the whole time. the only reason i stopped my smoking marathon was beacuse i got busted in school and ive gotta stop until march(im getting piss tested randomly all the time) also, i have had this issue many other times in the past and taking a break has ALWAYS helped me get higher when i smoke again. i dont know all the science of it, but i know what i've expirenced is true.

Actually.. I do believe that could be true cause I don't know for sure. But my opinion.. being someone who barely gets high off amazing weed, and when i do get bkaed it lasts for like a half hour.. i think the body just gets used to it so much that its more normal for you to be high. and when you quit you start to be used to being sober.

i beleive in tolerance. the first time i smokes weed was amazing, i was seeing things. but that doesnt really happen anymore - i think its cos my brain knows what to expect now.

so would people here suggest i take a break from smoking everyday, so that i can get back to being super high?

OK, Let me inject some medical facts into this to clear up all the confusion.

First, you need to understand how THC works. THC replaces the neurotransmitter anandamide inside our bodies. It affects receptors known as CB1 and CB2 receptors.

The THC mimicking the action of anandamide is what causes the high. Now, here's where the topic creator got it right: over time, your body learns to handle the effects and disposing of THC.

But that's what causes tolerance. Since your body handles it better, you respond less to the THC, causing less of an effect, a high, which is from your tolerance building up. If you break from smoking for an amount of time, your body returns to normal in proportion to how long you've been taking a break.

If anyone doesn't understand how neurotransmitters work I suggest looking through this, not only is it interesting but extremely informative: http://www.eztest.com/web/index.php?...pper&Itemid=39

What I have presented here are facts. If you're going to dispute them, point out which of my facts are wrong and why. Your opinions, just like mine, mean nothing in this discussion so please leave them out for herein. Hate to sound like an ass, again, but we need to be scientific about this.

After looking at the above link try poking around on Wikipedia to learn more.

so what your saying is if i hold my breath under water and keep trying to see how long i can do it...that eventually i wont be able to hold it longer?.

or

if i run daily eventually i wont be able to run longer?.

fuck tolernce it blows so why si it each week i buy mroe weed?!!!?

I'm not saying that at all and that doesn't involve neurotransmitters. Go look at my link.

If i run a mile everyday my lungs will get stronger as will my heart and ill be able to to run longer, people who dont normally run will get light headed and tired sweat more and wont make it as far.

if i smoke blunts everyday 3x's a day eventually ill build a tolerance for weed and will not get that intense most people just starting to smoke will feel.

My body can handle the weed, like my body could handle the running.

THERE IS A THING CALLED TOLERANCE!.

I KNOW THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING!

There's no need to shout, I was supporting your view << I was going against the topic creator.

Oh sorry im real stoned right now, who made this thread he's a dumbass.

Haha, it's cool, I make horrible mistakes like that too at times. At least you did it to me, when I do it it happens to someone like my District Manager x_x

The guy who made the thread just needs to do a bit of research is all, he'd understand after that.

And since, we've all experienced tolerance so saying it doesn't exist is a bit odd.

because you came on here spouting off random bullshit that everybody knows to be false

I agree with an above post.

Ya'll are lightweights, you aren't the ones that make sure the blunt gets burnt down till there is nothing left....or you pack that extra bowl when you don't have to.

Being high is nice and all, but i really live for that intense rush i get from smoking just a liiiiilll "too much".

Yeah take a break, to be honest though once you get back into smoking it doesn't take to long for the tolerance to return

i dont know weather this is right or not but it is just some food for thought...

the way tolerance was explained to me is that it all revolves around your mental baseline. basically when you smoke it alters the state of your mind as we all know. if you smoke every once in a while your baseline will not change. however if you smoke on a daily basis, like me, your baseline will naturally raise to help your body/mind adapt to being high all the time. so then when you smoke, the effects are less drastic and therefore you feel "less high". the more your baseline elevates the more weed it takes. also i'm sure a couple of you have noticed that you dont stay high for the same amount of time. this again is because your body can return to baseline sooner because your baseline is now closer to the peak of you high than it originally was.

taking a break from smoking will allow you to return to a lower baseline, but you might experience some minor withdrawls simply because you have become somewhat reliant on thc to help you function on a daily basis. when that is suddenly taken away your body will be below its raised baseline making you feel depressed, sick, etc... thats why quitting cold turkey is harder than gradually lowering your dose each day till you quit.

it make sense to me but youre on your own to decide what you think. if i am right great if not oh well. but some of the people on this thread need to chill out. the forums are a place to discuss things not fight about them. this isnt a competition.

There is zero zilch no withdrawl with pot. Any reliance is a mental, not a physical dependance. There is a difference between craving pot and your body *absolutely* needing it.

And yes, i think everyone has taken into account the idea that you become more in control of your high as time goes by. But saying there is no tolerance, thats a stretch.

Heres a question for everyone: When you first started smoking, was there ever a time where you said, "Oh man, im so blitzed i can't EVEN take another toke."

Probably yes, often after only just a "little" bit.

Now, after a few months/years of smoking, do you ever feel so overwhelmed like you did back when you started? No, probably not.

I don't turn down pot. And if i am in a rotation, I will smoke it until it is gone, even if I am the last one smoking. The body is all about tolerance. There are people who poison their wifes for years. When they finally die, they have like 4x the amount needed to kill someone. Our bodies are sponges and they are adapted for survival, being tolerant of "everything" from mushrooms to pot to alcohol to poison is key to suvival. This thread is fucking stupid please delete it. Man I am disappointed in myself.

Damn your cool, you smoke all your pot and then walk up the morning and say ( Damn im out already, what happened ).....I smoke the first blunt of the day and you lay in bed, possibly crying.

Dont tell me about smoking blunts man my fingers are yellow with the mad T.H.C that poors out of the end and from smoking till there's nothing left i have fingers made of steel.

Tolerance is non-existant for me, I've been blazing for 6 years and never have I said "OMG teh weed is no good anymore".

You guys are letting this spiral out of control.

Just smoke however much it takes you to get high!
If your not getting as high anymore, take a break for a day or two.

amen babe, amen!

I havnt really got a tolerance. I've been smoking large amounts of weed and homemade hash for 4 years now, and 1 joint will get me high, but if i wanted to i could smoke 3 oz in one day, because when i reach a certain point i dont get much higher, sometimes i can over do it and pass out but it depends.

I dont know about tolerance, so i wont comment. Nothing is certain. It's theories, and they dont mean the truth.

Each human is differnt, nothing more to say about it, that somes it ALL up, it could be true in some people, and it could be the opposit for others... doesnt need much more explanation.

if i smoke normally and medically (3-5 times a day) then i get almost nothing unless i smoke the dankest. if i'm out for one day, then smoke, i plastered to the couch...

tolerance...
