I had tolerance issues in the 70's-80's from smoking all day. I used to stash away bags from all the different imports I was seeing so I had a nice variety.
 
doesnt everything have a ceiling?the human body only has so many receptors to recieve substances and when they become clogged or full you dont get any higher you pass the fuck out or overdose depending on whjat your taking.seriously people ive consumed so much pot that ive fallen over and got the spins from it puked like crazy and then fell asleep for like 14 hr.when you reach this point you dont get higher you cant.and im not talkin about smokin a half oz of some killer weed im talikion smokin that much and eating between 15 and 30 grams worth in some edibles.yes ive done this and more than once.when ive woke up after doing this ive smoked and not even felt it.i should note that i consume 4 to 6 grams daily anyway for a medical condition and i can fuction fine on this amount.shit i go to work and no one even knows.

Many ways to fight that intolerance one gets, knock back some green tea before a joint or even the famous Mango taken again before weed will send you further into the stone, but best is to chill and manage your weed taking, hate to say it,...but toke management is the way, besides back in the 70's weed was still difficult to find in many places including in Merica, also even the best of the best weed didn't have THC that went over 15% by far most was under 10% THC and as for the crap from Mexico mark that at 2-8% THC ...total crap!

That's the good thing about growing your own I have a wide variety to choose from. So I smoke my uppers in the morning and downers at night. Some of the hybrids provide a nice mix, taking the edge off the sativa and the body off the indica.
I'm growing Ace Seeds Banghi Haze right now for my pure sativa strain, my wife loves it and the ceiling fairly high, so if you take a couple hits your energy is right not edgy at all, but finish the joint and you can end up getting a little jumpy. Got some heavy hitters coming up though, OG Ghost Train Haze#1 and SSSDH. I will be flowering some Tangie in a few weeks too.

A lot of people mention the low levels of THC in landrace cannabis from 30 years ago compared to modern day hybrids and I feel they are missing the point. The point being the quality of the high...every other consideration is a long second in my opinion.

9 times out of 10 the high from a well grown tropical sativa with low to medium THC levels will have a better quality high/experience that stimulates and inspires than the brain deadening high from the latest 8 week, high THC hybrid with a catchy name and a high that is strong but monotone that temporarily removes half your brain for 30 minutes...yeah, you can have your latest, greatest, cup winning, high potency strain with it's 20 minute long lobotomy stone while growers of sativa get high for hours doing wonderful things. With legalization we will begin to see the end of the pursuit of faster, stronger hybrids and will begin to see more people appreciate plants bred and grown with the quality of the high as the utmost importance.

for those who cannot accept that tolerance may vary experientially between strains,

think back to when you were in school, and that one freaky kid. someone who works then blobs in front of the telly may have a different physiology from someone who gets 4 hours of sleep and spends 18 hours a day being active/creative/programming.

what i'm saying is, people are different, physiology varies, and brains differ, if you like a physiological analysis. if people would accept "true for me, not true for others" we could get past half the discussion on this board...

hi everybody i'm me, not quite the same as others, and that's okay...

i mean, the fact that people doubt the effect of 70's strains may have more to do with the fact that they are entirely different people, involved in entirely different activities with entirely different thoughts and behaviour and physiology.

i figure half the thc that goes into our bodies goes to counteract the EMF of using computers for hours each day.... we are different people than we used to be..... in a very different environment.......... why does everythnig have to be the same, why does everythnig have to be something you already know about????

this just seems like a mechanism for isolating a brainwashed population to me.. people who couldn't give a damn about anything except what they already believe......
 
i dig your thoughts wave guide.ive seen a fat chick take 2 hits of trainwreck and eat a cookie and she snapped and thought she was dying.homegirl called outta work for 3 days she was so fucked up.that amount would be very mild for me.but even with a high tolerance i9 can still feel small amounts it just doesnt last as long.

I always thought of tolerance threshold experience as a lack
of understanding the drug cannabis.

Every time I hit my thumb with a hammer it hurts.

Every time.

I think I've always been around oversmokers. Back in the day, for me, smoking a joint was fine, but with the strains out now, that's just bat crazy. Don't waste good stuff by taking in too much of it. Just a wee nip is good for a few hours and also keeps your tolerance from soaring out of control. Make it last, this stuff ain't cheap.
