So im not new to weed, the first time i ever smoked was probably 4 or 5 years ago but I only started smoking "regularly" for about 6 months now? I smoke every night. But the thing is, even if I should have built up some tolerance, I cant smoke a bunch in a short period of time or I get too high and anxious and just overwhelmed and like I cant handle being too high. I only take like 3 hits in a row and then I have to wait 15 minutes to see how Im feeling. Usually at this point im content with how high I am and I know I dont want to smoke anymore until I feel like im coming down. I dont understand how other people can smoke a whole joint to themselves all at once and function normally and feel good. I might go through only half a joint to myself through out the span of a few hours. why do you think this is? I cant tell if its just because i might have slight anxiety issue, or the feeling of being really high is just too much for me, or if my tolerance is actually just still low and the way others feel off a whole joint is the same as how I feel off of a few hits. Some people may think this is a good thing but I dont like it when I smoke with other people and cant enjoy just smoking a whole joint or blunt with them without getting worried im going to get too high and turn out bad. And another thing is, when I smoke outside, I usually dont get as anxious but if I start out smoking inside, the high is more intense. Maybe something about the fresh air and free feeling of being outside.Anyone else feel the same? Just looking for some thoughts on this and maybe any kind of suggestion/advice?
My advice is enjoy it and stop worrying about being around other people. Your limit is your limit. Stop smoking when you've had enough even if other people continue. Don't know why people always cause static about it. Enjoy your very efficient tolerance, whatever the reason may be.
Wow Op .. dont look at it as a negative but as a positive .. the lower the tolerance the more weed you'll have in a stash & the longer it'll last you .. hell most tokers would kill for a low tolerance ..
I personally prefer to smoke with light weights over heavy weights.. I cannot stand the whole "Oh man, my tolerance is so high, could i have another toke of your shit?" like take a t-break n fuck off, jesus.
I guess youre right, I should see it as a positive, I just dont like the part where I can get easily anxious/panicky. So Im assuming you have a high tolerance? So im wondering, is there a point where you get "too high" and dont like the feeling anymore or can you just keep smoking?
Honestly sounds like your simply overthinking it. Just smoke what you need to get you where you want to be. Its not a competition. When me and my crew smoke, there are always people who pass. I pass when I need to, none of us ever make a fuss about it. We all just want to have a good time.
Well lately I've just been taking one big hit and feeling pretty good off of it and I'm loving it, but I'm just coming off a tolerance break. I wouldn't worry about it, just think of how much your saving over the long run. If you only smoke half what your friends smoke, your spending half as much as them. And when you are smoking with them then you can either take smaller hits at a time or just tell them "nah I'm good" when it's your hit. I'm sure they won't complain about there being more for them.
I hope I never build a tolerance. Taking 2 hits and being lifted is awesome. I wish I could get a buzz off of 2 beers like my wife does!!
I'm kinda the same way. It hasn't always been like that, but over the last couple years I've found myself smoking less and less. Either I get too anxious, or have a bunch of shit to do and can't really enjoy it. It's a bummer. I miss the days when I'd blow through a 1/8th in a day with the buddies.
Wish I was like this actually, well - minus the anxiety... Whenever I smoke I always have to force myself to conserve because I usually use more than I would like to in one sesh!
As other blades have advised already, smoke what feels good. Regarding the anxiety, a bout of masturbation could be the cure for this. You just need something to take your mind off things so I have always found a bit of porn and self love to be just the ticket. Sent from the bowels of The Pentagon
What kind of bud are you smoking? Indica, sativa? Expirement and see if it could be the strains causing anxiety.
I am the same, only time I need more than 3-4 hits is if its schwag. IDK how or why people smoke so much. I enjoy a low tolerance, saves precious weed, and I don't like smoking constantly.
Cause that's how weed's supposed to be smoked. It's not like cigarettes where you spend your rent money every week.
Everyone reacts differently to the weed experience. I know and have known many smokers just like that, and I had quite a long phase of being just like that myself. Fuck, I still am in some ways. I know it does suck to not be able to stomach much, but on the bright side, you can save mucho herb this way. Trust me, it can blow to be at the point of needing nearly 3.5g's to get properly high in one sitting. jah!/*d$*
It sounds like its all anxiety, the most annoying motherfucking thing in your. Test the waters and try smoking in different ways/locations/people (or none) and you should find a way your comfortable with.
Everyone is different, instead of 3 bowls or hits, try 2. I have a family member who has been smoking for 30 years and cannot smoke more than a bowl every few hours, she gets blitzed. Kind of envy her.
