This must be a factor for a lot of people because everyone here says to take very long breaks to increase your tolerance. Lab rats tested for tolerance only took 7 days to have a full response to the drug again (including full neuroreceptor counts) and the most rapid decrease in tolerance happened durring the first day. My experiences with mj have led me to believe that this is also true for people. I think the secret is not to take a long break and then start smoking constantly again, but to space out your highs evenly. If you aren't getting high enough on what you have, just wait a little longer between smokes.
