Anyone else have a really low tolerance?

Here's something weird... it's as if vaping has trained my mind to be more receptive to getting baked, regardless of method used.

In my 20s I was always Mr "Just one more" (joint at the end of the night), I used to end up caning off a couple of joints in a room full of sleeping people. Since about the age of 30, with more frequent vaping, some of those same people are still lively and chatting when I'm so stoned I'm struggling to think (even just off joints).

In general, my resistance has gone down.

However, the weirder thing is... when I have unlimited access to loads of varied and high grade types of herb (i.e when in Amsterdam) my resistance shoots up within a day and I can find myself oddly immune, having to resort to really strong stuff.

None of this makes any sense, but in answer to the OP, my resistance fluctuates between low and high, depending on circumstances.

I can still kind of remember when I had a low tolerance. It was before meeting my wife 15 years ago. When we meet I could make a joint last a week. On our first date we smoked a whole joint and I was baked. She looked at me dead in the eye and said. " let's do another". That was the last day I had a low tolerance it was love at first sight.

I have a really low tolerance of vegetarians, Rotarians, and breatharians.

I must also add I am not fond of throwing up in my mouth, putting MY own underwear on my head and being probed by aliens either.
(unless its rectally, for some reason they are especially gentle almost caring even:tup:)

Asian people are pretty cool, i mean you ever see the 'hello kitty' shit? cute as a fucken button.
ima massive fan of asian food, but I have a low tolerance for some of their driving skills & MSG.

I once thought I was lactose intolerant, but it seems it was the vindaloo. Unfortunately, due to the language barrier i forgot what hand was for what and found myself very sick for about 6 months.
Mysteriously the illness went away once I left 'little Bombay' and made my way home.

I cant believe it took me that long to find my way out of my local 7/11.

I am so not a fan of anyone from the USA & quite a few Canadians shit me as well, but praise Jeebus I dont know any & only know nthn mexicans.

did I ever mention you nthn mexicans all look alike to me?

Anyone from New Zealand also gives me the shits. So that must make me intolerant of those animal abusing sexual deviants as well? Any country that sexually molests its food before it officially becomes food is just fucken wrong and should be annexed by Russia post haste.

I dont have a problem if you wanna have your wicked way with the christmas turkey before its served to grandma. Not my fucken business, but at least have the decency to cook it 1st?

If, and I mean if, New Zealanders insist on shagging dinner whilst its still in the paddock, then at least have the common sense to bring flowers and take it dancing. Then and only then, can it be called a beautiful consensual act, until then, its abuse.
and not the good kind either. (pull my hair, spank my ass, call me 'bitch' kind)

Then there's pants, i have a low tolerance of pants as well. Any chance I get, I drop my pants and 'helicopter' the nearest face I can find with my hangers. Either that or I drop one in each eye socket of a deserving soul. Where it has a similar soothing effect to cold teabags and bits of cucumber for tired eyes thats so popular in the day spa resorts.
Need a nail driven in? no worries. I drop my pants and hammer that fucker with my knob right then and there.
I then take care of the nail.:tup:


Anyhoo, I gotta go and try and think of who is going in the 'They are ok in small doses' thread.
Most women I know fall into that category,
just saying.......

Its not like said, 'all bitches be crazy':mental: or anything like that.



:D:D:D:D

Strange thing happened last night . . .

So I was waiting all day yesterday for my Pinnacle Pro to arrive so I could take it out with me tonight to go see some friends. It never came, so I just said screw it and didn't bring anything with me. Ended up at my sister/brother in law's house with some buddies and I was a bit tipsy. He brought out a glass pipe I gave him years ago and we started smoking (first time combusting in over a year).

Usually when I start to smoke after having several drinks I have to stop after a few hits or I will start to get sick from combo of weed and alcohol. Last night this was not the case. We were passing around the bowl and everyone else had dropped out and my brother in law told me to just keep smoking because he had plenty of weed. So I did . . . I just kept smoking and smoking. I probably went through 1.5 - 2 grams in about 1.5 hours. I was nice and high but nothing out of the ordinary. If I would have smoked that much about a year ago I would have greened out big time and probably thrown up (even without drinking alcohol).

So, it seems like my tolerance when vaporizing never really changes and I can get the same effect day after day with the same amount of herb. But it was obvious to me that my tolerance increased greatly while smoking. Doesn't really make sense to me. Can anyone shed some light on the subject?

I can relate to this. I think it's your anxiety that keeps you so high. Most likely when you're sober and you vape, you get a lot of thoughts in your mind about not greening out or getting "too high" which generally results in you getting much higher. You start to feel the pronounced effects, and immediately your mind goes to "uh oh, did I vape too much?".

There's a perfect level of drunk when weed just barely seems to affect me at all. It's the perfect amount of alcohol to stop those anxious thoughts and inhibitions. Things can get pretty rough if you either get too drunk or the weed high greatly overpowers the alcohol, but funny thing is I usually end up reaching for either a beer or a vape when I'm at this "perfect" level :ko:

Funny how life works sometimes.

I barely ever smoked MJ ever. I only did it when I was at work, because I was a chef in a kitchen with no coworkers who were chefs, and no cameras, and because the bartender went to the back kitchen, and she shared with me. I never got stoned or even high. I thought MJ was a joke. Then I grew my own stuff. Then I got the herbalaire. I was scared. I was not experienced and this was a drug that the movie reefer madness made seem like deadly. I had no one with me, and had the phone ready for 911. I put half a canister in my vapor. Then I tried it with low settings not even getting to any vapor that you able to see yet. Then after 10 minutes of asking in my head over and over again if I was high or not I realized that for the last 10 minutes I was high and did not even know it. I think when I stopped pacing back and forth around the place and when I put the chips down I realized what had happened, then next thing you know my heart seemed to pace really fast. I was freaking out. I did not know what to do and I was worried I could die from a heart attack. I called my neighbor and she told me to just cool down and not freak out and that nothing bad could happen. I tried getting high again and this time I allowed myself to enjoy it. I said to myself. Holy crap just a little bit made me stoned from the herbalaire and I have 12 mason jars full of this plant I grew ready to be used at my pleasure. I think that was the happiest day of my life, when I realized that I had what felt like a lifetime supply. It took me a few months of daily non stop vapor ing to get it all spent. Now I go for a few days before getting vaporized if I can. Either way, I miss those days and to think it was less than two years ago. Now these days even if I go a week without when I finally do get some it only gets me high, maybe stoned if I am lucky and use a lot all at once. I use about 2 dabs then a gram to get me baked now. I guess my body is immune to it and my tolerance has risen. This saturday I am getting a dab and stocking up since my card is expiring soon. Enjoy these times my friends who are new to MJ, enjoy the low tolerance while it can last. Because someday if your unlucky like me it will cost and take a lot more to get you half as baked as you are right now and if your just now starting out like I did. I envy those who say that their tolerance is low and they get to stoned way to easy. And I resent them.

I know I know. I was an inexperienced loser then. But it's not like I had anything to compare it to back then, so I did not know any better, now I do know.

I started smoking first of February, I bought a total of 9g of flowers and 1g of concentrate. I still have half of everything, I smoke very very little before bedtime, and with solo, I use even less. I dab half a size of a grain of rice, I'm trying to up my smoking, but with my prescription pain pills, it doesn't mix very well.

We use 'vape' as a verb, in place of 'smoke'. Around here when you say you're smoking, people think combustion.

I had a very low tolerance when I started consistently vaping last year. My tolerance is still pretty low but not like it was. Actually my physical tolerance might be the same but I can handle being higher, so I tend to get higher. I am definitely in a constant state of somewhat other-worldliness now. That's what it feels like in my mind, but my outward appearance and behavior is pretty much the same.

I have been a little concerned that I use up pot faster than I used to, but I am actually getting higher so it's not the tolerance that's the issue, it's that I like being high. I like the focus it gives me, and the ability to shut thoughts out of my head when I don't want them there. It allows me to be "in my own world" so to speak, which I kinda need right now because I am a graduate student. I don't see myself needing or even wanting to be like this forever but I enjoy it for now.

I use an underdog (UD) mostly at home with a little vapor brothers bubbler and it suits me fine. sometimes I'll take my PAX out with me for the day. I usually vape more when I have my PAX because the load capacity is so big. Technically I could use the PAX with one load for two or three days and I have done that, but usually I will go through a whole PAX oven in a day, whereas I would not vape that much if I were sitting at home taking an occasional toke from my UD.
Blazedrunner, I like your description of the utility of the high you get. I've found that at certain dose levels I become much more focused than I usually am - which is a good thing. Yesterday I would have probably struck down a bicyclist with my car if I hadn't been high; he darted out into oncoming traffic from between two parked cars. Because my perceptive ability was sharper and sense of movement slowed down, I could clearly note the cyclist and adjust my speed and braking accordingly. I also felt very calm and didn't swear at him (just indicated to him that he should be more careful next time).

I think of myself having a pretty low tolerance, but certainly not as low as it could be. For me there's a certain sweet spot where the effects of cannabis are most consistent. I can achieve this by keeping sessions evenly spaced throughout the day, and keeping the size of my sessions the same each day. It eliminates a bit of the fun of cannabis, but it also makes keeping my tolerance in check second nature. I no longer feel any drive to do a second pack during a session, but I also don't end up leaving sessions too vaked to perform mind occupying tasks, or with impaired memory.

When I don't vape on a schedule, my tolerance varies so much it can make it easy to get in the habit of overmedicating, just slightly increasing my dose every time I pack. I had this problem with the SOLO, as I found the incremental heating changed the length and intensity of my sessions. With the SOLO it was too easy to just keep vaping, pushing the envelope of my tolerance every time. Now I mainly stick with vapes that have a small pack I can clear in one or two thick hits. I find these hits easier to manage. I'd love to try using a SOLO again, keeping my packs consistent, and following some of the advice posted here. I just have doubts that my self control is good enough to handle such a unit at this time.

After getting my first cannabis in decades in Feb, I was super ultra low tolerance. I've now moved to very low tolerance. It still takes very little herb but a little more than before.

I take it your Vaping for Sleep? Is it working? You also said it doesn't mix very well with your Pain Medications, how so? I never thought of it affecting my meds but its now a concern with just starting out Vaping

I have fucked up super low tolerance. One sesh and I feel the most extreme of blazed symptoms. I have to dose in extremely low volumes and spaced out a lot, because if I try to over-do it or get baked as fuck I end up absolutely baked as fuck. Totally under the influence and distraughtly cerebrally high.

Good life.

I'm an all-day and every-day user. And I DON'T have physical ailments. Fuck yeah. :ko:

I may not have @lwien levels of low tolerance, but.... after quite a few years of this, I still use only up to 0.25 grams a day. I think that's pretty good. And let me tell you, I am MEDICATED all damn day. Every moment I'm awake.

Between the HI and FF and Solo... I'm getting DAMN GOOD efficiency. :tup:

But that's kinda what sucks about living with crippling regret over a problem that literally can never be fixed in this world or in this lifetime - if you simply can't accept it, or if you just can't let it go, for whatever reason... then there really is no fix. Only daily medicine to keep you from ending it all. And to keep you occasionally hoping for good things - or even just a break from the sadness.

Lucky! I go through about an ounce a month. 1/4 oz a week. pretty conveniently for the math, that is a gram a day. Unfortunately I only get that baked as fuck feeling when I get a new strain and it's exceptionally good. I never went through this much when i wasn't vaping. I would be about 1/4 less a month. The advantage of vaping is that it is so efficient/effective. The disadvantage of vaping is that it is so efficient/effective.
