How high can your tolerance get?

[UIowaHawk17]

I've noticed I don't get high from just decent weed anymore. I tried some of the stuff I first smoked when I first start and it would get me stoned but now it just gives me headaches.

yeah i havent smoked in so long that id probably pass a drug test right about now.. for the first time in a year.

smoking kept fucking with my diet/excercise. but man i cant wait to jump back on the horse.

but if your seriously gonna do a break, finish up your weed now or give it away cause if you any on you then you wont last long.

Just stop smokin for a month or 2 and see what happens then ^_^.

Just stop for 2 months, its hard but you'll be amazed. Then get the strongest skunk you possibly can, smoke it all in massive hits and you'll be on ure back hopefully!

Good luck in your quest to get stoned!

he is right. after you stop for a while, and smoke fat again, you get FUCKED. when i did it i was so high i was not in reality. i wus somewhere in my brain, but not reality

It's the weirdest thing, for over a year I smoked and got so stoned my friends used to think I was faking it (which I never did). Music would sound so amazing my entire consciousness was consumed in awe. food tasted amazing, and I would be so happy I would just laugh and laugh for no reason. But in the past couple months my tolerance has really gone up, and now it's so high that I pretty much can't get stoned anymore . I can smoke and smoke till my lungs can take no more... yet music sounds no better, food tastse no better, my perceptions aren't even changed. all I get is that I feel a bit numb and I'm a little slower, I don't even feel more possitive .

I went through this stage a few months ago. It got to the point where I smoked almost an entire eighth in one go and my high wore off about 30 minutes later. And it wasn't because it was shit weed, it was genuine White Widow that a few of my friends got fucked on just a few tokes.

So I stopped for a few days here and there, and it helped quite a bit. Music doesn't sound that much better to me either, but I think its because I have listened to the same albums so many times that there was nothing left to discover on them.

I think that after a while you just don't get high like you do when you first started. I've been smoking daily going on 6 years now and while I can get very high at time, it's never been like the first year or two was. I have found that switching up your bags helps a lot. It's good to have a 2 or 3 different bags with different weed in it. I'll also cut back or stop for a day or two and eat right and get lots of sleep. Nothings better than smoking a bowl after you've fasted for a couple of days.

this is all a very interesting discussion.

do you guys think it's possible to ever recapture that "first high"?

[benagain]

I don't think so. After a while you know what the high feels like. Even if you smoke some really dank bud, you're expecting it and it won't quite be the same as the first time.

Don't take any personal offence, but I think that is bullshit.

When I first started (in 2002), I was forced into it. I was smoking so much I smoked more than the main bloke, who was a serious druggie. We still talk about it now! Anyway it continued like that for a few months then I stopped abruptly as I got fed up of funding them as well as me. I didn't really enjoy it, and all we really did was smoke in fields. And I was smoking huge, pure joints that didn't really have any effect.

Another year was to pass before I had a few tokes of another spliff. It was actually a bad trip, and I passed out.

Few months later, I had a hash joint (though I think it was laced with PCP) and that was the most fucked I'd ever been. I was seeing crazy purple patterns with my eyes closed. Seriously tripping. Only time I've ever hallucinated as well!

That was it for another 6 months, and a friend gave me a highly potent spliff. it was THAT strong I had a few tokes, and nearly passed out. That was when I accidently discovered how great listening to music when high was. man that joint got me high 4 times, and thats when I really started to enjoy it.

Another year was to pass, then I started smoking regularly. I noticed it would take more and more weed to get me high. My first 16th lasted me almost 2 weeks, and I got about 15 spliffs out of it. Proves how little I was putting in to get me high! But I enjoyed it too much and refused to stop. Eighth lasts me 3 days now, and I get much less joints out of it!

Though I have stopped now (through no choice of my own, the fucking dealer is useless, and can't find anyone else) I ain't smoked for 5 days, which is the longest I've been since October. I will be interested to see what happens.

Fuck, I type too much. I could have just said "you really need a break of like 6 months not only for every trace to leave your system, but to also forget about what its like to be high."

[benagain]

Yea, maybe a 6 month break would work. I've never made it past a few days.
