true or false

[DazedandConfused]

I just got this information from gooddrugsguide.com or something. im so confused as to what the answer of this question is because you hear different things so much.

"tolerance
Tolerance builds up rapidly after a few doses and disappears rapidly after a couple of days of abstinence. Heavy users need as much as eight times higher doses to achieve the same psychoactive effects as regular users using smaller amounts. They still get stoned but not as powerfully."

the question was if you build a tolerance to weed or not duh.

I will plead the fifth.

tolerance does build up, i've heard of people toking up' every single day... and then not being able to get as high.

The cure for this is to to take 2-3 weeks off smoking ( if you can't do that, your pathetic) and then you will then feel like the first time you got high, but much better ;-) well maybe...


tolerance builds up only if you toke more than every 3 days i'm guessing...

i think you can build tolorence, but i also think alot of that is phycosematic and all in your head. My freind swears she doesn't get high off of one blunt anymore, i think she's been telling herself that so long that she accualy doesn't get high from one blunt. on the other hand i havn't been smoking, and when i do toke even shitty weed gets me rocked. :rasta:

No, I'm not gonna. Mats and Rice don't built up a tolerance.

and ...

According to the U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM), when examining drug addiction, tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal are the characteristics most often assessed to determine whether or not an addiction is indicated. Although some users of marijuana may experience slight tolerance, dependence, or withdrawal associated with use, the IOM argues that this is not evidence that marijuana is addictive. The organization asserts that tolerance and dependence are normal physiological adaptations to repeated use of any substance, including prescription drugs. Safe, appropriate use of many prescribed medications -- for pain, anxiety, hypertension, etc. -- routinely produces some level of tolerance and a slight physiological dependence that is addressed through dosage and may lead to withdrawal symptoms if stopped abruptly, rather than gradually.

The IOM also reported that observable symptoms attributed to marijuana withdrawal are rare and were only identifiable in "unique patient settings... limited to adolescents in treatment facilities for substance abuse problems, and in a research setting where subjects were given marijuana or THC daily." Compared to the withdrawal associated with alcohol or heroin, the marijuana-related symptoms of restlessness, irritability, and sleep disruption are minor. According to reports, the symptoms are not "severe enough to re-initiate use of cannabis." The criteria of tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal, therefore, do not indicate marijuana addiction, assert proponents of marijuana legalization.
