"tolerance"---NO SUCH THING
OK, Let me inject some medical facts into this to clear up all the confusion.
First, you need to understand how THC works. THC replaces the neurotransmitter anandamide inside our bodies. It affects receptors known as CB1 and CB2 receptors.
The THC mimicking the action of anandamide is what causes the high. Now, here's where the topic creator got it right: over time, your body learns to handle the effects and disposing of THC.
But that's what causes tolerance. Since your body handles it better, you respond less to the THC, causing less of an effect, a high, which is from your tolerance building up. If you break from smoking for an amount of time, your body returns to normal in proportion to how long you've been taking a break.
If anyone doesn't understand how neurotransmitters work I suggest looking through this, not only is it interesting but extremely informative: http://www.eztest.com/web/index.php?...pper&Itemid=39
What I have presented here are facts. If you're going to dispute them, point out which of my facts are wrong and why. Your opinions, just like mine, mean nothing in this discussion so please leave them out for herein. Hate to sound like an ass, again, but we need to be scientific about this.
After looking at the above link try poking around on Wikipedia to learn more.
