Training your THC receptors?

or cannabinoid receptors w/e they're called. wow, spell check doesn't have cannabinoid.


I started thinking about this a while ago but have been too busy to ask this. I started smoking weed about 2 years ago. I remember the first day i smoked pot and i remember the first day i got extremely high where it didn't compare to anything else, and as time went by i got into stronger weed (that's the training part i guess). Recently i went on vacation to europe for 6 weeks, and when i returned and smoked weed for the first time i'd have to say i experienced the full effects of weed. Auditory hallucinations. At first i didn't notice them but when i asked my friend to turn the radio off or does he hear the music and he replied i dont have a radio on the balcony and no i dont i knew i was. We we're taking bong hits on his balcony and it was raining lightly, a man was walking his dog and talking on his cell phone, cars we're driving, my friend was talking. Everything sounded like a song and when the man on his cell phone and my friend we're talking everything sounded backwards. I think after putting my THC receptor to work and training them to absorb THC after that 6 week break THC hit me like a fucking truck.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

i haven't stopped since i started it. if i wanna get that high, i just pop a couple cannabis pills. i wish i could just smoke a bowl and get insanely high again.

i have quit for a few weeks for training and ive had similar affects

Ive been clean for three days, until like right now..
wait.
hold on

yea right now. It makes like a big difference in your high. I think I'm the highest I've ever been.

a wake and bake after a hard night of drinking is sure to bring you back to the old days when you would get super stoned

Starved receptors for most drugs will react that way. But cannabinoid receptors are the funnest

A very unscientific explanation (with links to matthews related posts):

The more you smoke, the more cannabinoid receptors 'grow' or become active. Most people don't get stoned on their first or second session, because there has been no build up of receptors to trigger a big enough pleasure response. The more you smoke, the more receptors 'grow' or 'switch on', waiting for the next cannabinoid hit. Suddenly, you get high. When a receptors gets its fill, it 'dies off' or 'clogs up' and more take its place. So, if you stop, you get lots of cannabinoid sensitive receptors waiting for their hit.

When you eventually smoke again, all these excess receptors reward you with endorphin doses and yeehah!

In my experience, the longer you are away from a smoke, the higher you'll get (if the weed is OK).


Nicotine receptors are the same in most people. Some people never get addicted to nicotine because they don't build new receptors for the nicotine. In other words, one specific dose of nicotine is all they need. Receptors die, but don't get replaced. They never need or want more and can quit immediately because there is never any increased pleasure in smoking nicotine.
