The receptors are more active when you use it less? So the receptors are LESS active when you smoke more? Wouldn't that mean you need MORE of the drug since the receptors are less active?
I'm not being sarcastic, i've never experience a reverse tolerance. I've always experienced a regular tolerance. The more I smoke, the more I need to smoke. One hit will not get me high because I smoke a couple grams of home grown a day. I get a drop in tolerance when I take a break; the longer the break the greater the reduction in tolerance. With no breaks though my tolerance continues to increase and I smoke more and more. Every single toker than I smoke with also consumes larger quantities. Some of these people have been smoking chronically for longer than i've been alive, and they still consume large quantities. Wouldn't they only need a single hit to get blazed since they smoke so much for so long? The only people I know that get baked from a single hit are non smokers, or infrequent smokers. Or its exceptionally high quality herb (but thats not what were talking about).
well I'll just make it simple and share my experiences and the experiences of everyone I know who is or was a heavy smoker.
at first the tolerance seems like you can get higher the more you smoke.
after a while this changes, and it takes a lot more to get where you wanted to be. then eventually you can't even get there anymore if your use continues to go up.
that's because the cannabinoid receptors automatically down-regulate (temporarily shut off) when there is excess use.
they come back in a few days and will be majorly active then you will get super high again.
there is plenty of scientific info on the subject if you really need something to lay it out for you solid I can link you up.
