Attention Drug Users: I have a questions about teh marijuana
 

I think they do some what.... But not as much as alcohol...

Yes, you can build a tolerance, but not much.

Just try it and find out

Switching variety makes all the difference. I have a high tolerance to regular weed so I dont smoke it. I prefer the specially grown or none at all.

Yes I have to smoke quite a bit to get high.

Yes, you build up a high tolerance just the same as alcoholics do.

There is differences in strain and what not that do lower it a bit, but for the most part you build a heavy tolerance.

When you smoke just a little bit of weed, many people get giddy, silly or even anxious or paranoid. When you smoke weed all the time, it's more of a steady effect. You're not so messed up.

over time I have lost my tolerance.

So you used it for a while, built up a tolerance, then kept using it and went back to being sensitive to it?

Or are you just so stoned that you have no idea what you just wrote?

:helpme:helpme:helpme

yes tolerance is built...

all depends on the strain like most say... some you have to smoke a ton to even feel, thats called ditch weed, some you barely inhale and you're high as a mother fucker, thats called the good shit!

yep, i had to smoke so much towards the end. just ended up quiting the habit.

yes 8 chars

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I agree with all the above people.. You can build up a tolerence but not as much as booze and if you switch types it can help so you do not have as much of a tolerence for the same high... There are also different types of highs depending on the different type of weed you smoke...

:1orglaugh

meaning, when I was younger, I could smoke alot more at a time if I wanted, and I usually did... now that I am older, I'm a one hitter quitter... good thing is that an 1/8th will last me 2-4 weeks now, though. at the time when I was smoking the most, an 1/8th would last a few days.

This thread gives me the munchies...


mmmmm apple cinnamon fruit grain bar....







Im sorry.... what??

Yes a tolerance can be built.

And to those saying trying different kinds of weed might help the tolerance, I'd like to add it's much like trying different types of alcohol -- the tolerance is still there in many cases, but the user just experiences a slightly different "high", though "tolerated".

lollllllllllll the answer is yes i would pay to get as high as i did when i first smoked it (disclaimer: cigarettes)

Teh marijuanas? wtf... :Oh crap

Why do gay people have to go out of their way to make sure everyone knows they're a faggot lil fruitcake? Some weird motherfuckers in this world...

yes you can build up a tolerance to THC, the active cemical part of the weed. The more you smoke the more it builds up.
of course that tolerance goes down again once you have been away from the weed for a couple of days.

funniest thing ive seen posted today

Leave the gay people alone.

1. They're helping with population control.
2. They're pissed they chose their own "cause" and didn't piggy back on a disability issue / act.

Regardless, they're doing their part at keeping the population down.

yeppers.

But it's different than with alcohol. Alcohol tolerance is usually coupled with addiction, as it damages receptors.

Pot doesn't damage receptors so much as it clogs them up, and marijuana tolerance is usually the result of the brain's effort to maintain equilibrium without the adversities of addiction... some would say the brain is preprogrammed to handle THC, and it sorta directs the THC to the spots that it'll allow THC build-up to take place after awhile.

The only relation that pot types have to tolerance levels seems to be in the amount of THC present in the varietals.

Here's an interesting article on the subject of marijuana tolerance, if you're inclined to read up on the subject:

http://www.ukcia.org/research/gettman3.htm

So that you know where it's coming from, the guy that wrote it's a regular author for High Times, and is a Ph.D. that has made his life's ambition the legalization of marijuana.

Never tried alcohol eh?

how about caffiene, tabacco, or sugar. They are all powerfull and addictive drugs that kill millions of people every day. Ever try them drugs?

Yes, you build up a significant tolerance.. for me, probably moreso than alcohol.

I seem to get less and less tolerant of alcohol the more I drink :(

i think not..

I think what you mean to say was you haven't taken drugs that are "illegal" , big difference :) i bet you suck back the drugs :) ever eaten an egg mcmuffin ? bingo..

i think its crazy how you say teh instead of the. Its THE

I have a question too:



Did it hurt the first time you took it up the pipe? its a serious question.

After the past 6 hours in Amsterdam, I beg to differ. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/images.../1orglaugh.gif

Either that or isn't sure what tolerance means.

Nah, Do You Know the Muffin Man's, Chocolate Cheesecake

just get high.

marijuana isnt a drug.

Yes you build a tolerance over a very short period of time (a week or two weeks of daily use). You still get the same high each time you smoke after that but the duration of your high is not as long.

And I would say that tolerance disappears completely if you don't smoke for about a week. At least this is the case with myself. Of course with all drug use it varies from person to person.

i can agree with that. :thumbsup
