Backwards Tolerance

[TrashManifesto]

I hear people talking about their tolerence all the time, but itsnt it backwards for weed, since the more you have in your system the less it takes you to get high?

i read that in a psycology book

Your body builds up a tolerance to the THC over time, thus you need more to obtain the same high. thats what they tell you in DARE in 5th grade. i never built up much of a tolerance but the high deff. isnt as good after a long time of smoking every day. i dont know the logistics of it. i havent been stoned in like 2 months so when i blaze again i assume it will be nuts. ive been tryin to get this 1/4 for like a week now, these idiots need to learn how to do bussiness. Peace

^^tell me about it dude, it tokk my guy like 3 weeks to get a dime, thats fuckin nuts

you guys need to find serious dealers. unless your shit is just that fucked up. no, the tolerance thing is real: it builds up rapidly from smoking and disappears rapidly from smoking. THats why Ill smoke a couple of days and then take two off. thw two days really helps. does wonders for your lungs too.

No, i dont need to find a serious dealer becasue dealers are bad fucking news and because i have an old friend who drives to my house and gives me weed. he'll come through for like 3 weeks in a row and then be a douche about it. its not truly his fault its the kids he gets it from that are the problem anyway. also, i havent been high in 2 months becasue my mom found out i had been smoking all summer and then i was truent for a few months and she went ape shit. on top of that i havent had any money since around that time.

Tolerance is weird with marijuana; everyone seems to be affected differently. I've experienced both tolerance and reverse-tolerance.

[TrashManifesto]

Long-term users who donâ??t smoke constantly tend to get higher from the same amount and quality anyway, due to the phenomenon of reverse tolerance. Toleranceâ??diminution of effect with continued useâ??develops to some of marijuanaâ??s effects, such as the pulse-rate increase, and even to the high if you smoke pipe after pipe day after day. However, unlike heroin and cocaine users, many marijuana users find that, as time goes on, they need less rather than more to reach their preferred level of euphoria. Experienced users become more efficient smokers,([23]) and reverse tolerance continues to develop long after theyâ??ve learned the technique. With aging, the brain becomes more sensitive to drugs anyway,([24]) so pot of any given strength may seem more powerful than it was in oneâ??s youth. Moreover, because a fatal OD is impossible, and because THC causes no known damage to human tissues or organs, a greater concentration of it does not mean greater danger, as it does with many other substances. In fact, the forced increase in homegrown primo may be the only case in which drug laws have actually (though unintentionally) decreased a hazard from a drug.

that was right there on the front page haha i just heppen to run into it while skimming through all those words, that kinda makes the guys who always talk about their tolerence look ignorant, but i bet lateralus is right about it being diff for everybody

[lateralus]

I'd agree with the article in that people who smoke all the time, but not constantly, develop a reverse tolerance. It's when people are getting high three and four times a day that a tolerance develops. I remember being able to smoke an eighth like it was nothing, then one day I could suddenly get high off a few hits (reverse tolerance). After I started smoking joint after joint in one day, the high seemed to be getting less intense (tolerance). Know what I mean? About users who develop more efficient smoking techniques: that's exactly what I thought caused reverse-tolerance. This, and reverse-tolerance make sense, since most people don't get high their first and second times.

i agree too... wekk, kind of... all of the old hippies and stoners i smoke with always (even tho they smoke every day, several times a day) only take a few hits and then save the rest for later.

but when it comes to younger people, its not so much of a reverse-tolerance as it is you having more control of the intake of thc, thru how you take your hit and how you hold your hit.
