high tolerance

Does anyone have a high tolerance of weed? It seems that I smoke and get high for maybe 30 mins. I feel a little fuzzy for a while after....and then once I smoke, I can't get good and high for at least another 24 hours....I just get sort of heavy-headed.

I smoke weekdays from 5:30-11 and usually all weekend long. Been smoking that often for years, off and on. Mostly on.

I'm starting to just get annoyed by it. It's becoming more of a chore to try and get high.....it's not fun anymore and it certainly doesn't have the medicinal effect it used to. It's been a great help for my severe depression this past year, and I don't want to lose that. The strain I get from my CG is really good quality, but I don't know much about it. He's tested growing other strains, and I can definitely tell the difference, that they're not as good....I also have a high tolerance to pain meds. It takes about 10 Excedrin to put a dent in a headache.

Anyone have thoughts, comments, suggestions? I find myself wondering where I can get other drugs.....and I don't really think I should be trying new things.

have you ever tried to take a week off or so? it will help id say maybe a month would do it for sure

Try concentrates

id say that will help but thats even stronger what do you think is going to happen later when you cant get medicated then? id say just take a break for a lil bit or try a flushing drink not the 6 hour drink but a week long flushing. i went to purple east a couple years ago and they had this apple cider stuff that takes a week and worked great.

i find having a variety of strains in my medicine cupboard helps by smoking something different everyday.

It's definitely easier to build up a strong tolerance if your only smoking on one or two strains, so if your CG can't offer anything different stop by a collective and pick up a little something to mix it up for a bit.

Concentrates aren't a bad idea if you can afford to switch from flower to oil.

Overall I'm kind of surprised that you're not getting a stronger buzz if you're waiting till later in the day to medicate. I've also noticed taking one big bong rip will effect me more than smoking a bowl or joint.

If none of that works, take a day or two off even if it might be difficult, it would be possibly one of the only ways to reduce your tolerance.

you can build a tolerance to the same strain.

I award you a cookie.

MMJ highs began to lack for me, so I thought about adding alcohol, shroomies, acid, e, etc. when I smoke to maybe get higher, feel true MMJ effects

But it's not really something we should be doing (of course IMO)

Anywhoozles, I am on the same page as you. High tolerance, low pleasure. Time and abstaining with water as a foundation should do us good

I am the same way. Got one hit bud here for anyone else, I gotta smoke two bowls to even feel anything. Only thing that works for me is just taking one day off, it sucks but I just end up wasting killer bud. Guess that a downside to all this killer weed out now.

Hell yeah you can...that is why I never grow the same strain more than twice.

It's hard to take any time off, since I consider myself pretty dependent. But I can try throwing a different strain into the mix. Waiting to hear back from my CG as to what strain he gives me. Unfortunately, I live in Grand Rapids where there are no dispensaries anymore. I know of one about an hour away that I want to visit.

I DO know that medibles work better for me. I've made budder and 5 of my cookies put me flat on my back for about 4 hours. However, I make them from 1oz, which is $250...and I get about 3/4 pound of budder. And I want to try making it stronger so I don't have to eat 5 cookies at once....2-3 would be better. But that gets expensive. I don't grow...I have a black thumb and tried growing once....it didn't go so well. If I grew, I could use the trimmings for other stuff and not rely solely on smoking buds. I assume that I'd have to get one of those self-contained tent things to actually grow.

I always smoke from a bowl since it's easiest to carry with me. I don't smoke joints because I hate them and I feel they're a waste.

I never thought about what happens if I become completely tolerant.....not going to think about that now.

This is what my CG gives me. I've been smoking this primarily for about 4 years?

What do you mean, water as a foundation?

I've never had shrooms, but a friend (and heavy drug user in the past) told me that shrooms are "good" because you can't do them daily...you don't get anything. Tolerance builds very fast. So in order to get the full effect, you have to do them seldom. I've thought of trying to grow some in my yard....

all i know is that you should NEVER be taking ten excedrin for anything. ever. that much acetaminophen and aspirin that contains? definitely not good for the kidneys/liver.

I rarely take them because of that. I suffer through.

But weed helps sometimes, so I need to have it work for me....it's a much healthier option. It makes the physical pain go away but also makes me a nicer person. win-win lol

So my first hit of today has me pretty ripped. But that will last maybe 30 mins. I'll smoke the rest of the day, so about 12 hours, and won't be able to replicate that first high. Then I don't smoke while sleeping, obviously....and it won't happen until I start again tomorrow, which might be around noon....24 hours. And the day will go the same way.

Or maybe this is typical for everyone?

Sounds like you need to have on hand a minimum of six different strains. I would recommend staying away from any other kind of drug I can relate with just wanting to get higher but that's when you cross the line and become a tooth less crack head.

Let her try and see how high her tolerance really is.

I'm pretty sure there's like 3 collectives in grand rapids and a delivery service. Not quite sure what their all like to be honest but I'm sure you could find something if you really wanted too.

Some properly made oil from trim would knock you and your ass.

I agree with whats been said about building up a tolerance to the same strains. Some people do and some people dont. I know a patient that can only use the same strain a couple times in a row and then it starts to not be affective. I think it has to do with the person not the strain.

That sounds like a reacuring nightmare, steadily driving you towards madness. I mean that would suck and be fairly difficult (at least for me) to manage. P.S. I'm assuming a couple of times is the matter of days or a week.
