THC Tolerance?

I apologize if this is the wrong are to post this thread but it seemed like the most appropriate to me.

So here is my question, I was wondering if it is possible to build up a tolerance to marijuana. The reason for this is I have been noticing that I have to smoke more to get the same effect as I used to and am not even able to attain the same level of "high" as I used to.

If you are able to build a tolerance to marijuana, are you building a tolerance to all kinds of marijuana or just to the strain that I have been smoking?

I thank you very much for all your help.
Stay chill.

Yes, you can build up a THC tolerance. Over time, or heavy use, it's pretty much inevitable, to put it lightly.


Just either cut down for a while in quantity and frequency, or take a break for a couple of weeks (2-4 seems to be standard) Your tolerance level will drop down.

If you can tolerate not toking for a few months, that'd be the best way to get your tolerance level back down to newbie toker level (or close to it, rather)

To me it's more about smoking the same weed for too long... Mix it up and wow.. Also, if you take a break.. the noids might be back too if you had them before. ;)

I agree witht his, I build up a tolerance if I smoke the same buds(strain) for awhile(days or weeks). Then once my bro gets some new shit in it is like wow I can get high again.
 
It's why I almost don't mind buying bagged stuff if I have no headstash. Because, it's pretty much different every time.

And yea you can definitely build a tolerance. It's bad for me anymore, I build tolerance very quickly for whatever reason. Sucks because that can be a costly side-effect if you're not growing your own.

Start smoking hash and tolerance won't be as much as a problem.
 
I sometimes make my own hash, but usually I don't have enough bud to do it with. I have smoked it as well as made it before, but don't really know much about it. I feel like I get too little in return for what I put into it. Next season there will be some hash-making though. Only when I have an abundance of bud does hash-making come to mind. NO OFFENSE to hash smokers certainly, I'd definitely smoke more of it if I could afford to.

Smoke on the weekends only and you will be straight. It takes awhile to build a tolerance to THC that way. Once you do just take a week or two off. How bad could it be. It's not crack.:biglaugh:

It is within a growers control to grow and keep at least a dozen strains in the pantry, that way you don't get burnt out on any one strain. Med users can't take a break without problems that are worse than the burnout.

Thank you all for your helpful and knowledgeable answers and helpful advice.
I am a med user though, smoking because of stomach and appetite problems so stopping isn’t possible for me, although I have tried to very disastrous results. I suppose that I will just have to wait till I can grow enough plants to keep different strains around.

The reason why all potheads have high tolerance is because they smoke too much

the weed just keeps getting stronger

general term, like middies (bad) or heads (good)

beasters are generally commercial hydro, usually really dense and kind of moist... it is like a C-

ditch weed (middies) would be a F.

B+ through A+ are heads

Yeah man I just smoked the last of my stash yesterday.
10 inch joint I rolled from those footlong vogue paper strips couldn't even slow me down.
Pissed me off so much I smoke 3-5 grams a day depending when I can.
It's not working for me either though, I gotta leave it alone unless it's a weekend.

Infact I go through withdrawl from just about any substance, even weed. I'll start sweating and smashing shit around the house cause im grumpy :D

Just curious, what are the middies like where you are? You make them sound so bad when around here middies are actually good smoke most of the time. I'd think alot of it has to do with geographic location, though.

Middies around here are usually any shade of green, lots of orange or reddish brown hairs, almost no seeds, no sticks, sometimes compressed but with good trich coverage. Run about 80-120/oz. The last middies that I finished up had a wonderful hash and fresh spice smell, same with the smoke which was thick and lung expanding. After half a pinner I'm feeling it thumping me in the forehead and further along I realize that I am very high. I could almost compare some of the mids that we get around here to respected strains potency-wise. Then again I've heard out-of-towners say that the mids around here are really good and really cheap compared to what they get back home, so maybe middies are only a good thing around here...

yea beasters where im from are decent enough/ will probly get you high. the good stuff is like a whole nother level tho :joint:
 
the bag stuff around the good ole corn state sucks bad.
I have found that if i smoke later in the day my tolerance stays lower...
but if I take a break for just 4-5 days one bowl will shoot me far. I guess quick tolerance buildup heh
