Weed - Marijuana Tolerance
Aug 13th, 2008 by squizzmaster
Like any drug, it is possible for you to build a tolerance to weed. If you build a tolerance to a drug, it means that over time with consistent use, you have become accustommed to the drug and larger amounts are required to achieve the same effect.
Building A Tolerance - Signs\Problems
- Smoking weed more frequently in larger amounts means you are spending more money
- There’s a good chance the quality and\or nature of your highs will alter. The intensity and spiking of highs may reduce and result in a more dulled\spaced out experience
- Your sessions will have an element of dissatisfaction\dissappointment when you haven’t achieved expected highs
- Getting suitably stoned can become the primary focus of smoking, rather then enjoying the journey from first toke
- You may find yourself waiting to be stoned and even worse, not getting there
- Building a tolerance is the first step to becoming psychologically dependent on weed. It just doesn’t seem as recreational when you’re spending too much of the session chasing the high
Avoiding A Tolerance To Weed
- Well, first and foremost, don’t smoke everyday. Even better, limit yourself to the weekends and maybe once during the week
- I stand by my “Less Is More” philosophy here
- Don’t aim to smoke so much that you’re too stoned to grasp anything
- Don’t rely\wait on weed to show you a good time, more use it as a fun enhancer. It’s up to you to make your own fun, weed just puts an incredibly good spin on it (see: Things To Do When You’re Stoned) - Once you start to feel yourself build a tolerance, take a break. For example, skip at least a day or don’t smoke for the rest of the week. Once you have done this, get back into it slowly. You should be able to gradually judge how often is good for you
- Treat every session like it is your last. Don’t take your weed for granted
