BoyAlley have you ever been injured? Like a broken bone, serious illness, surgery? I'm quite positive you've not been drug free your entire life. That morphine they put you on is 100x stronger than any marijuana I've smoked. Hell even a vicodin or valium is more potent than marijuana. :2 cents:

Ok being a very heavy user for close to twenty three years, yes the doctors started me at age twelve; though I was also ultra high on my first birthday by all reports when I ate my parents only joint before going to my grandmothers for my 1st birthday party.

The tolerance is very different. I typically do not get the giddy or the slowness of the brain like I first did early on. As stated above though that certain strains can bring some of that back again even to a chronic user, there are a huge number of cannaboids and combinations unlike alcohol. However I still get the important effects needed such as hunger (no safe substitute), muscle spasm relief (better than Valium), minor pain relief (not as medically grounded as the others, but often used as an excuse), and migraine relief (equal to the shots). Yet I have and use different strains or specially breed strains to get each or a combination of effects. None of these have lowered with any noticeable tolerance. OK on muscle spasms sometimes I need a whole joint or something instead of a few puffs or whatever, that however I blame more on the strength of the spasms.

Again though just about a week ago I had a new cross breed that I tried and again I felt giddy, very light headed, had an echo feeling, and was generally slower mentally again. New mix of cannaboids hit different triggers and receptors.

Lastly I have also had to go off of it for several months to almost a year at assorted times, the rumors of long term effects are just more false study propaganda. Your short term memory comes back the moment your no longer under its effects, your long term memory is fine, my lung capacity has always tested fine, and my oxygen saturation (test from 00 to 100 in blood stream) shows that I am always near a 98 to a 99, even when I was a constant cigarette smoker which defies most medical logic. Except during the year I had to stop smoking marijuana, and just cigarettes my O2 stats were in the high 70's low 80's.

*If your curious about the near year I had to stop, that was when I was being federally prosecuted via Conspiracy against the United States of America, for cultivation and distribution (several counts), minimum sentence on one count was ten to life in federal prison. This all occurred during my assistance in passing proposition 215, when shortly after it passed I turned myself in when the sheriff told me I had a federal warrant for my arrest due to the operation of a clinic (after law was passed).

Weee I think that was post 23456.

Sorry

yea definitely you build up a tolerance

When I was in amsterdam my first spliff of white widow I nearly whited out! A few days in and I'd adjusted and was smoking loads of it and was fine.

Yes you can build a tolerance, in a different way. I smoked 3.5 grams a day of high grade pot for 3 years now. I can smoke a quarter or more if I want, no problem. Actually you can get HIGHER by smoking less once you have a very high tolerance. Taking 1 or 2 hits and stopping might give you the same old high you felt when smoking at the beginning.

like After Shock Media said... different CBNs in different strains. So you smoke one strain for a week, switch to another type and it may have a different variety of CBNs.

The broader definition of cannabinoids refer to a group of substances that are structurally related to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or that bind to cannabinoid receptors.


Your body has built in cannabinoid receptors, it does not have nicotine receptors.


Before the 1980's, it was often speculated that cannabinoids produced their physiological and behavioral effects via nonspecific interaction with cell membranes, instead of interacting with specific membrane-bound receptors. The discovery of the first cannabinoid receptors in the 1980s helped to resolve this debate. These receptors are common in animals, and have been found in mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles. There are currently two known types of cannabinoid receptors, termed CB1 and CB2.


* CB1 receptors are found primarily in the brain, specifically in the basal ganglia and in the limbic system, including the hippocampus. They are also found in the cerebellum and in both male and female reproductive systems. CB1 receptors are essentially absent in the medulla oblongata, the part of the brain stem that is responsible for respiratory and cardiovascular functions. Thus, there is not a risk of respiratory or cardiovascular failure as there is with many other drugs. CB1 receptors appear to be responsible for the euphoric and anticonvulsive effects of cannabis.

* CB2 receptors are almost exclusively found in the immune system, with the greatest density in the spleen. CB2 receptors appear to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory and possibly other therapeutic effects of cannabis.






In conclusion, this means that marijuana needs to be studied at more universities for its medical effects. Imagine what could happen if Harvard Medical School was allowed to explore this.....

smoking a bong right now - and I would bet the $1230au dollars i have in my wallet that you would still find me irresistably fuckable. Isn't that all that matters??? (u can watch me for a price)

Yea, kinda. I didn't have time to read all the thread so I'm sure it's been answered 5 times but when I smoke the same strain of weed daily for a week it will give diminished return for the same amount. Once I pick up a new bag of something different, it's like starting with a clean slate.

There's also the stronger weeds a beginner shouldn't be smoking if he's only used to schwag or nothing at all. I was inebriated for like 7 hours, bottomed out and corpse-like off some tropical stuff for doing too many bong hits. I only smoked bird's nest kinda shit before that, so when I did it, way overwhelming.

yeah, what he said, too much love will kill you - or have you humping legs in search for satisfaction.

You build a tolerance but it's small, very small if it's quality hidroponic

Fuck, you truly are an imbecile.

In my personal opinion .. you have to build up a tolerance .. I smoked lots when i was a kid .. and not so much these last couple years .. but when i do .. I am TORN .. no way could I even think about driving ..let alone walking .. and all my buddies who are regular users have no problem at all walking, talking and even acting human .. me .. just a puddle on the floor bumbling fool ... 100% believe it is "accumulated tolerance"

indeed.
i smoke since i was 16, every fucking day...
i just smoke for fun now, i dont even get high :upsidedow

After smoking pot for years, the first hit after not smoking it for a day still gets me high.
