Tolerance shot way up - smoked joint & half and felt nothing

I've been vaping, eating and occasionally smoking cannabis for about 4 years. I almost always use it at nighttime to help go to sleep (struggle with insomnia) but I enjoy the euphoria and giggles before I drift off to a night of solid sleep.

My tolerance has grown, of course, over time, especially after I accidentally dosed too heavily with some edibles when in Colorado recently. (Basically couldn't smoke anywhere and didn't bring my vaporizer) Enjoyed myself but when I returned home to my vaporizer, found that I could vape an entire bowl and feel only mild effects.

So I took an unprecedented 4-day break.

Then I brought a couple of joints to an evening show last night, and took about 15 minutes to smoke one. An hour later, felt just about nothing at all. Smoked half of another rather rapidly (like over 2-3 minutes) and it did little to give me a high. (Sourced from the same dispensary I always get my stuff; Maui Wowie and Headband)

Did I just smoke them too quickly, or is my tolerance now so high that I have to take a much longer break to restore my sensitivity?

Thanks!

You can fix this in a couple ways. Just start re-imbibing at a reduced rate and one day you will get high again, usually about a week or so. You will never get as high as your early, more naive use. You can take a long tolerance break and you will get higher than simply reducing intake but it won't last either.

Once your body has 'learned' it will accommodate rapidly on future exposure. So you'll get a few better highs. For myself I'd go the first route.

Add some Benadryl at night it will help get you to sleep. Start growing, your tolerance will concern you less.

Thank you, curious2garden. I'll probably just take a 2-week tolerance break, and then just start again really slow.

I think it was the massive edible doses (75-100mg) while I was in Denver that screwed things up for me. Before that, one joint would get me lit really, really well, and that was just a month ago. I guess I just need to let those cannabinoid receptors heal. :???:

I think I had read somewhere that if you smoke too quickly the receptors shut down. Can't find any reference anymore, but I also smoked the first joint over the course of 15 minutes, too, which doesn't seem too quick. How should it be paced?

I used to have this little Asian in a cage I named Chippy who would take resin knife hits and then exhale by blowing the hits into my asshole through a bic pen. Always just the right amount of high too, never too stoned and never too straight. Just right.

I miss that little funny fucker. Chippy was always blathering about this and that, pissed off about being locked in my basement in a cage or something. His stupid ching chang ding dong stuff was so cute. Don't know what happened to him, it's been a while now.
