Breaking a tolerance

[Sr. Verde]

So last time I smoked was like yesterday morning... A decently fat bowl that should have had me buzzing around for at least 2 hours but the high was pretty much gone after 30 minutes which TOTALLY sucked.

Anyway, I'm actively breaking my tolerance (I'm purposefully NOT smoking so I can get high easy again)

So its like, I don't know 35 something hours since I've had a hit... How long should it take to get back to a point where I should'nt notice my high going away real fast?

I would really like to shoot for something like 3 days but fuck that, I'm also thinking that might be overkill and I don't want to have the last 35 hours be a waste

I can go a week and still have the same tolerance. I have to quit for 2-4 weeks before I actually lower my tolerance.

dude i dont even know but i smoked a reg joint with the neighbor uhh hmmm 5 days ago? just got paid today and pick up a sample gram of some white widow. I got my new bong 3 days ago so tonight is the night i breaks its virginity. I already know im gonna get ripped, cant wait. If its really white widow and it gets me stoned im pickin up a quarter tomarrow.

I say a week or it isn't worth it. I know it's hard, but it's only the couple first days and then your fine. Trust me, after a week you'll be as stoned as back in the day....

Fuuuccckkk a week?

I went for 10 days because I was with my girl out of state and that shit was awful - I got ripped as fuck off some hash bowls though the day I got back.

I don't smoke EVERRY day but I really need a few hits right now, I'm stressed out and am aching all over from riding the hell out of my new motorcycle

Could I smoke real light for a week and take single to two day breaks and bring my tolerance down at all? Or does it have to be cold turkey?

I think It's because i've been on a binge smoking my mind out for the last previous 4 days on top of smoking every day (small amounts maybe 3 bowls) since the end of summer




Does anyone know the science behind a tolerance? Is it a buildup of THC in your system or what?

Thanks for the replies btw

 

[victozap]

The science behind it is your cannabinoid receptors (the thing THC binds to) get tired or "worn" out after a while of being repeatidly being used.

Haha, You need to start counting in days rather than hours because it will make time go really slow. Really its not that bad if you dont think about it. It is worth it though.

just keep yourself occupied

 

[Sr. Verde]

Well I definately can't go a week without bud, maybe if I had some liquor but I have no money and 8 grams...


Fuck.

Maybe I could get my hands on some shrooms and just eat like .5g to get a bit happy like a MJ high?


Does anyone think it would be worth it if I smoked after 4.5 days? Or would that also be wasting time? I would love to light up Friday night...

Actually, my friends come to me for the hookup, and I'm trying to make enough profit to be able to just hook everyone up with bulk prices... But I need to buy an oz with my profit money to get back what I put in so I always have bud on me these days...

It's not one of those, "It's right there and I want to smoke it" type things, I'm just feeling depressed (Suffered from severe depression since I can remember, sounds gay when I say it like that but its true ) and I'm aching all over and I cant sleep and I'm just jonesin for some relief or escape :\


But you my friend, 5 days deep, congrats on your success and any tips for my journey into the realm of longer-term sobriety?

seriously its all about keeping your mind occupied and staying active. DONT GET BORED just stay entertained and you won't notice nearly as much. It's the first steps that are the hardest every day it gets easier. Also for the depression google St.Johns Wort and 5-HTP that combo is a natural anti-depressant I just take St.Johns Wort but I'm not really depressed its just like a natural SSRI to keep me in a normal mood without my bud.

Back from Wiki: Interesting stuff, might have to give that a try...

Where do you, yourself, buy it? Is it widely available or would I have to call around some herbal stores (the REAL herbal stores, like with supplements )

I get it from wal-greens but you can get it basically anywhere they sell vitamins.
