"tolerance"---NO SUCH THING

[Purple Banana]

I can see conflicting sides, but I'mma have to side with the stoners on this one, tolerance def. does exist. From experience.

I don't see the scientists smoking the joints themselves, so the effect of tolerance is individual with each toker.

I call shenanigans. I just returned from a long break from smoking . I lit up the day I joined this board and I'm telling you I'm a light weight compared to what I used to smoke. I can 1hit myself everytime right now and feel "affected". Back in the day if I only caught one round in the circle I always did that "am I stoned?" thing. The idea of a bunch of labcoats asking a pothead if he's baked seems funny to me.

I disagree

[herostyle]

I disagree because when I smoked everyday itd take so much more to get high. But now if I take a week or 2 break and smoke for 3 days straight I get so baked.:jointsmile:

the mind is a powerful thing...just look at all the studies with alcohol...give a large group a keg of non-alcoholic beer and by the end of the night everyone will be acting drunk and actually feel the physical effects of it...so if you really think ur not gonna get high, you probly wont get there...also, different types of bud have different potencies, and when you take a break u r probly not getting the same batch. whether u want to believe me or not that is fine, maybe its just me, but id rather believe facts and scientific research than a few pothead's opinions. also, i have been smoking for 5 or 6 years and consistently get good herb. i have found that i have NEVER needed to up the amount i smoke. and as far as the vape goes...i am pretty new to it. i just bought an aromed after shopping for 2 years and trying out just about every one there is...and it conserves bud like crazy. my last Oz of trainwreck lasted about 2 months, and now with the amount ive been using it would be able to last 4-5 months. we'll see what happens this time with the White russian

that's why i gave you the comparison i did, which was, after not having any for so long, and i smoke a bowl i get high as all fuck, but then at the end of that stash, the same bowl that got me high as hell, doesn't give anywhere near the same effect... because all the weed used in my basis of this subject, was the exact same stash (batch)

[YDOISTAYHI]

if you want to get technical...how do you stash your bud? if you keep it in bag it is probly not as potent as when you first got it...and do you normally smoke shwag or are you talking about quality herb? sometimes i wonder if the typical shwag i see is even worth smoking or if it is even capable of getting you high without using massive quantities: which is not only incredibly bad for your health but also produces a terrible headache in my experience. any way you cut it, the research is there: the "tolerance" u r experiencing is probably created by your mind...just like the feeling of being drunk off nonalcoholic beer when you believe it has alcohol in it.

[slipknotpsycho]

to be fair, when i first started smoking i had not a clue of what a tollerance is.... so how could my mind make up me having a tollerance, when i didn't even know what one was? and btw, no i don't smoke scwhagg, but it wouldn't matter either way, if i was to build a tollerance at all, i'd build it just as easily to scwhagg, as dank, if that's all you're used and all your smoking it's all you know... and a placebo effect (which you keep pointing out with non-alcoholic beer) has nothing to do with building a tollerance to a chemical that you're keeping in your body.... they're two completely diffrent subjects on two diffrent levels.... make a poll, see how many people feel tollerance is non-existant, to how many really feel it's there based on their own experiences....

[LuckyNiner]

That's ridiculous, of course you develop a tolerance after smoking for an extended period of time.

The thing is, for me at least, I still get extremely fucking high from just a few bowls...I just feel more in control of myself. Anyone who's smoked for a long time knows what I mean.

[mcweedy]

i have been seeing more and more posts about this...so i thought i would clear some things up...first of all there is no such thing as smoking "tolerance."

If you can sit here and tell me with a straight face that there is no such thing as tolerance than you are a pretty good liar. Try it yourself. Take a break for a month, and at the end of the month when you start blazing again, tell me tolerance isn't real.
