Tolerance question

[zlock]

I know that over time, you can build up a sort of tolerance to weed, i.e. you might need to smoke a little more to get really high, or you might not get AS high as you once did, but two things:
To what extent does this usually happen?
And what can be done to fix the problem?

A few years ago when I first started smoking, I would smoke SEVERAL times a day, every day, and I would usually get REALLY high. I was smoking really good weed, as well as really shitty weed, but I was smoking all the time and ALWAYS getting a good high.
I stopped smoking after about a year of this, for about a year. I smoked a handfull of times during my break, and it was pretty good. I started smoking again recently, and now I'm smoking maybe 2 or 3 times a week, and while I havn't been able to get anything TOO good, I've been smoking decent indoor bud, but I just havn't been getting high like I used to. Made brownies the other day and got a little high for a long time, but it wasn't anything crazy. A friend I sold a few to ate one and thought he was being attacked by aliens.

Has this ever happend to anyone before (The not getting high part, not the alien attack)?
I figure that I'm not smoking enough to really say a tolerance break would make TOO much of a difference, am I wrong maybe?

I noticed that as you get older the high that you get kind of changes. You might have a low tolerance again, but your high could have changed slightly.

I got the same problem homie.

When I started smoking 5 years ago I was 16... I would do it about once a week, smoke a joint or a few bowls and be ripped out of my mind. As time went on I started selling to support my habit and make a few bucks... I was to the point where I was smoking around a 1/4 per day of good mids.

The thing about tolerance with weed, is as long as you're puffing decent tree, you'll always catch a buzz. Its just with time and increased use, the buzz becomes weaker and not as long lasting. However, tolerance to weed drops very quickly. If you're not getting the desired high, try taking a few days off, and you'll be blown out again.

In my case, I was arrested in early March on a warrant for selling to an informant, and I was also found with a small amount of personal. So now I'm stuck on Felony and Misdemeanor probation and rarely blaze. However, I have been running into some killer garden lately and on the 4th I puffed a bowl of kush topped with kief.

Man it's like getting stoned back in the day again. The high lasts for 3-4 hours, and I get that euphoria that fades with everyday habitual use... I've gained a new appreciation for MJ, and I think when I'm done with probation I'm going to smoke in moderation to prevent building the kind of tolerance I had prior to being busted.

i feel you man same problem

[andy.dennis]

when you first start smoking, your mind doesn't know what to expect... so whatever your subconscious assumes a pot trip is like, it creates.

if you've never tried pot becuase your'e afraid you'll see aliens- there's a good chance you'll see aliens.

you've smoked enough now that you know what to expect. pot is no longer a mystery to your subconscious, and thus- loses it's fascination. So called "tolerance breaks" aren't anything chemical, it just causes you to somewhat forget what it's like to be high

let me tell you something i hope you someday realize


You will NEVER get as high off pot as you once did. if you really want to get fucked up, try shrooms.


and whats so great about being attacked by aliens anyway?

Have you smoked weed before? Hallucinations? On weed?
