New strains & tolerance

beebud · Feb 4, 2023

Well we just went legit here in the Midwest. Went to the dispo picked up my selected herbs. Got home and Crap LOL!
I know it's been 10 years but holy cow.
Always was a discreet solo toker, take the edge off, get some "relief". Maybe a bowl in the evening.
Sure, there were plenty of oh crap moments back then, but nothing compared to the strength of this new stuff.
Maybe it's always been cheap brick weed my whole life I dunno.
Sure do hope the tolerance grows some.
Am I alone on this sort of scenario?
Any feedback on tolerance out there it's been a good while here. Right now it's looking like I'll never be more than a one toke dude. Lol.
Read plenty and based on many years of past enjoyment I went high grade sativa's. Most reviews that had mentions of day time, uplifting, energetic, etc.

Back in the day even expanded my love for gardening and knew I wanted to revisit that for sure. Now I'm thinking what the heck am I gonna do with all that prolly won't make ith through a qp a year. Already ordered my grow gear and now I'm scratching my head and sort of laughing at myself at the same time.
Things sure do seem different these days.

i'd look at strains with lower total THC percentages. They'll give you the mellower, longer lasting feel you're looking for.
I personally enjoy things listed in the teens over anything claiming 20% or more and I have a pretty high tolerance.
Trial and error. You could also mix a really low strain with what you have to mellow it down a bit.

Maybe try something 1:1 CBD/THC.

Ice Cream Cake.
Just finished the last of it. Everyday for the last 2 years.

Edit: Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you where talking about quality over time.

Let us know how high you get after a week or so.

10 years is a long time. Hell if I take a week off from smoking, everything seems like holy cow potency for a day or two. I think generally the weed of today is stronger than what was mostly available during the US prohibition days, but there was certainly knock-your-socks-off potent stuff going around even back in the 60's. But yeah, the average person was smoking brick weed schwag.

Today you see a prevalence of strong hybridized cannibas. While strong, I feel like a lot of it is bland in effect, and I get strain-lock quickly. A couple of days. This made me turn my attention to old school stuff, and more pure sativas. I wanna get high, not stoned.

Low tolerance is not really a bad problem to have, definitely better than having a high tolerance and having to smoke more and more to get high. Personally I have a pretty low tolerance as well, and the one-hitter dugout is my go-to device, not even a bowl.

And as suggested above, adding some CBD in the mix definitely helps reduce those "oh crap" moments, especially with edibles.

If you grow and end up with more than you can consume, that's also not a bad problem to have, as long as you have trusted stoner friends or family you can share it with.
