"tolerance"---NO SUCH THING

[ValkyrieAg]

Disagree. I understand what you are trying to say. But I disagree. When i first started smoking, I would roll a blunt and smoke 1/2 of it at 6pm when i got off work. Then at 9pm I would smoke the other half. Then at midnight, i would smoke a joint. Nowadays I burn twice that daily.

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." Research has shown that the more thc your body takes in decreases your "tolerance"(in fact it is wrong to even use this word) the truth is, the more herb you consume, the better your body becomes at dissolving thc into the bloodstream. so taking a break will not work to reduce the amount needed: smoking more will!!!!...exercise helps get the byproducts of thc out of the fat cells in your body...which is why those drinks to clean ur piss do not work...so the next time someone tells u they've smoked soooo much weed that they dont even get high anymore; u can just laugh knowing that is not even close to true. if anyone wants i will find a link to the more technical reason and research behind this. also....if you want to use way less herb and get a better high; try vaporizing...to add another thing, taking a break from smoking is good for your lungs to heal scarred tissue, but i say why even take a break when you can just vaporize all day long everyday with NO harm to your lungs!!!

Haven't read the rest of the thread yet but this is FUCKING BULLSHIT. Try this mate, don't smoke for one and a half months and then smoke about 250miligrams in a one hitter, then tell me tolerance is BS, I've been smoking all hols and now im at my peak I need a good couple of spliffs to get really blazed.

Also, from a physical standpoint...my eyes used to get bloodshot as all hell every time I smoked anything, and now that's become quite a rare occasion. How could my mind force my eyes red? I agree that your mindset definitely affects your high, but the placebo effect isn't happening when it comes to tolerence. Any experienced smoker can tell you that.

dude. if i had that reverse-tolerance thing that would be freaking sweet! i consider that a full fledged X-Men super power. I would ask for the costume and to ride in their airplane and shit. like if i was in huge battle and shit, i would just smoke everyone out so they could all chill out ane think things through. hahahhah Patrick Henry is stoned brothers and sisters!!!

not to start anything, but it's quite easy to say something without facts! i might have overlooked it, but where's your proof? personally, i think tolrence varies per person more than it not existing... i skip a couple weeks of smoking and i can jump in right where i left off, but my buddy can get high on less when he stops for a couple weeks at a time...

I agree with YDOISTAYHI I don't care how much weed I smoked, I could still always get high off a couple hits. I smoked for 5 years daily, weather it was 3 or 4 bowls a day or a few hits off my one hitter I STLL GOT HIGH, and smoking more weed once high as a kite is waisting weed not getting you higher.

I've had idiots smokin MY weed tell me after two bowls with red squintty eyes " dude lets smoke some more I'm not even high, I got a high tollerance? BULLSHIT!

i'm (and i'm sure most anyoen else that agrees with me) aren't saying you won't be able to get high off a couple of hits, i (and probably we) are saying you won't get AS high, it just won't be the same... past a point of just 'in your mind' and just becuase you had crack-fiending wanna-bes telling you they're not high, when you damn well know they are, doesn't tollerance doesn't exist... you CAN TELL when someone is high, any stoner can.... if you knew they were high, and they said they weren't.. they just more than likely have a problem.

edit: back when i smoked EVERY day, i could get high off a couple of hits too.. that doesn't mean it was anywhere near the level i was getting when i first picked it up again, or even now, after i take (forcibly or not) a few weeks/months break... i've been smoking for 8 years now, i don't EVER forget what it feels like... so it's not like i just get 'un-used' to it, i'm actually getting higher off the same ammount...

i dont know why everyone here is so hostile..but u r right alcohol and bud are completely different things, but i am using it as an example about the absence of alcohol still producing the same physical effects as alcohol, so pretty much ur argument makes no sense there. also, just because everyone thinks there is such a thing as tolerance does not mean there is...many of the myths about smoking are widely believed by smokers. just about everyone thinks those piss cleaner drink things work and they can pass a drug test just by drinking those. that is completely wrong....like u said ur mind gets used to the feeling, but that does not mean u r not as "high". i am wasting my time with this one i can see that...all of u are going to continue on believing it without even thinking there is a possibility that u r wrong. why even come into this post and try to convince otherwise with the only proof u have being "uh i think there is....so there must be"

Your a lightweight, deal with it, its not a bad thing.

The proof that tolerance does exist has already been posted, by people who use weed. I'm another who has experience of this and after cutting down for 3 months and stopping(well, give or take the odd joint at work) for a further 3, I can say categorically it does exist. I was getting wasted on half a joint of SOAPBAR when I started smoking regular again, now, 6 months down the line, half a joint of good green will give me a slight buzz, nothing else.
So to say tolerance doesn't exist based on a study by scientists is simply ridiculous.
Differant people have differant tolerance thresholds, thats the part you don't seem to be able to understand.

Everyones body is different on how it reacts 2 weed

i can wake up smoke a blunt be stoned, and at about lunchtime smoke another one be stoned, and at the final blunt be as high as the last 2 sessions.

i dont know about you all but everytime i smoke weed i kinda just chill out its not this big intense high anymore...like it did when i first started smoking , what i like to call a tolerance.

maybe after you take a break you feel extremely ripped because your not used to the being high. Idk and i dont really care at this point, cause one bowl will always get me feeling good. Maybe instead of saying you are tolerant to weed, you should say you are used to weed. This seems more mental than phisical.
