Anyone else have a really low tolerance?

I have such a hard time finding the right dose. I think need to quite until it's legalized and I have the option to get what suites me.

Yup, it`s just often a thin line between sufficiently medicated and a little too stoned. One hit is not enough and two is just a bit too much...part of the whole low tolerance thing (and Indica strains that have >20% THC!).
But it`s all good cause it helps me deal with my fear of dying!

I wish my tolerance was lower. Don't know if I'd be able to take one of those tolerance breaks, if I didn't have to. I went 3 weeks without any vaping when I was on an overseas trip recently, and got absolutely mangled when I vaped again. It was a great high.

With that said, I limit myself to about .8 grams a day or about 14 grams every 8-10 days.

After fucking combustion completely 11 months ago, my tolerance went down a lot. After the first few months I settled down at 4-6 sessions per day (e-nano and vapman), which was a big deal compared to combustion days...

But then, after the first 6 months of happy vaping, something wonderful happened.. And I owe it to this amazing forum..

I came across this video from this thread, and I thought "hey that sounds right, why don't I give it a try..."

I went for a t-break of 7 days instead of only 2, just because I wanted to prove to myself that I can. After 20 years of daily cannabis smoking (now I'm 34), I needed that confirmation. After that I followed the instructions of the video............ and boom!!

Now I am at the amazing point where I get high all day long, even at work, with only a single Vapman bowl... I don't fully load it, so we are talking about 0.05g per day. I only take one hit and then I put it back in its egg. If I want more I can take another one after 5 minutes, but usually I don't. My vapman vaping style gives me about 6-8 hits which, with my new tolerance, get me where 5-6 joints or 5-6 full vaping sessions used to get me in the old days..

I know how this may sound but I do this for 5 months now and believe me, I ain't going back!!!

I consume 1.5g per month and I feel higher than ever.. My cannabis experience has been fully upgraded, now I enjoy only the good things about it and have forgotten all the drawbacks that used to bring me down (laziness, red eyes, dry mouth etc). I even got my dreams back!

I think this is possible for everyone, no matter how high tolerance a person has. The most important rule from the video is that you have to wait 3-5 minutes to see if you want another hit. We never do that usually and that's what takes our tolerance to the sky.

I definitely recommend it to everyone! Cheers!

I really enjoy high CBD sativa strains, very uplifting, doesn't get me too blasted and no paranoia, but every one is different of course

I`ve found that the high CBD Sativa strains are great for daytime use for the same reasons and mixed with high THC Indica before bedtime take the paranoia out of the high THC experience really nicely as well!...

I combusted only flowers daily for 4-5 years, probably consuming around 2 grams per week.

Since getting my first vape nearly 3 months ago, an AA, I cut down to just Friday's and weekends, and haven't combusted since. I've just checked and I have 4.3 grams of AVB. Not sure how many grams of non vaped flower that would have been. But it was very dry before enjoying

Does anyone know the relationship between before and after weights of flowers when vaping?

In terms of T breaks, I never really used to do them when combusting, maybe once a year for a week or two during a family holiday. But I remember when I got back to smoking, that I would feel the effects really strong for half a week, maybe a week, then I would be back to normal.

Since vaping I find I get really really high off sub 0.1g. I presume from keeping vaping only to the weekends. Depending on the day I do 1-4 of these vapes so my usage has been cut down a fair amount.

Someone mentioned about a relationship between wake and baking and tolerance. I've not liked to w&b for years, and my tolerance is low so maybe there is a connection there.

Someone else mentioned about activity levels, in the recent year I have been very active running and cycling many miles per week, but didn't really notice a difference to my prior years getting high when I wasn't so active.

As vaping is basically boiling off the moisture in the flowers to deliver the active ingredients, the answer to this question is hugely dependent on the moisture content of the flowers being vaped.

I got 3 grams, I thought it wouldnt last shit because the only time I ever smoked weed was through a joint. I recently bought a pipe and as I have a SUPER low tolerance, the 3 grams lasted for two and a half months of almost smoking everyday once or twice. Just got myself a Mighty vaporizer, hell, I think another 3 grams will last forever now. I do a lot of sports, running, cycling and weight lifting and on top of that I have asthma, so I thought getting a vaporizer is the best choice for my health as well as conserving weed. I didnt notice any real tolerance building up when I smoked that 3 grams with my pipe, slighty maybe but not really.

Back in college I used to be a beast. Now, I am such a lightweight it hurts.

Honestly though, I consider it a good thing to be a lightweight. It takes me months to go through an 8th, with daily usage. I use my mflb or solo.. usually vape 2-3 puffs off of the mflb, then take the vaped goods and load them into the solo to finish off.

I have a little 1 hitter bat that looks like a cig (not fooling anyone) that I used to use religiously but now I just vape. Or use tinctures.

When I was at my "prime" I was combusting 7g per week and this went on for probably 3 years. After that I quit for 6 years and I remember the first time smoking how completely annihilated I was. It was funny because I was on a road trip and I had to shut the music off and almost asked the driver to pull over. It's been 3 years since then and my smoking habits have been all over the place. For the first year I was only combusting, then I was introduced to BHO and my first batch of 10g lasted me two years This was smoking once or twice a week but still.

There would still be the once a year go crazy weekend where about 8 of us would go though an oz (still nothing compared to some weekends when I was younger) and after those weekends I would always take at least 1 week off. Now I'm at the point where I smoke 6 days a week and I only need half of an AA bowl (0.075g) to get very medicated.

I'm 31 now (started smoking when I was 14, taking a year and half and a 6 year break between) so I imagine age is playing into it a bit but it still blows me away how little it takes. Now that I'll be buying flower for my AA (coming this week) I want to see how long I can get an 1/8 to last me.

Oops wrong thread for me. Haha

Smoke less, your tolerance is less. Smoke more, and your tolerance is higher. Not sure anyone really has any super human power.

I combusted for almost 10 years about a 1/2 of shwag a week and moved onto a 1/4 higher quality bud a week after some time. Now I vape with my SSV and I'm able to stay stoned 24/7 with a 1/4 of dank a week. I don't need more than that, my tolerance plateaus around there (and so does my wallet).

I always thought my tolerance was low, but then again I don't smoke much. It seems so obvious, but I never really put 2 and 2 together.

There has to be SOME difference between people. Like how a few people don't get hangovers and others are out for the count the next day. But maybe this accounts for most of my low tolerance.

Despite not being an absolute accurate percentage but according to experiments done by FC users, namely FredericMcguire, a 30% weight loss is the average in AVB.

I'm completely new to the vaporization. I'm a week into an AA. I'm a true light weight. I typically used such little material combusting that it's almost a joke. But my usage has definitely not gone down over the past week. Because it's new and exciting? Maybe. Because it's so so much better that I want to do it more? Pretty sure.


Am I crazy or does this whole webpage look super 3d after a nice session ?

Heck yeah. Scrolling through the page is really, really cool as well.

Also, @Sapios I'm really happy that method worked for you like it did for me! The Lily can basically knock me on my ass in 1-2 hits if I wanted it to when I use this method .

Tolerance is very relative. Compared to most people, my tolerance is high. I go through ~1.2g of weed per day (or the hash equivalent). I know people though who can go through 4g in a day, so compared to them, I'd say my tolerance is low.

@Beluga Just when I thought that things can't get any better after converting to vaping, you posted that video which has literally changed my life.. I have to thank you specifically for doing so..

The problem is that even though I know it is possible for everyone, I can't convince any of my friends to do the same.. When I mention that I now consume 1.5g per month they look at me like an alien.. Watching the video with them doesn't seem to make any difference.. Makes me feel so lonely

Well I wouldn't say it works for EVERYONE. As was discussed in the post medical patients have a hard time taking a break, which is certainly understandable.

And I know for some of my friends they simply enjoy taking a break; I do too on occasion.

Everyone is different. It makes us all individuals and makes life interesting!

Still, happy I could help.

I don't know if I consider myself low tolerance like the OP. I never "green out" no matter how much weed I vape or smoke.

I'm currently using the mflb, I vape very small quantity (0.05 or less) but I always stay at around a [5] or [6] unless I vape larger quantity. When I vape more I can get to [8] or [9] which I do occasionally (especially with a lot of trichomes on the trench or coffee grinder "concentrate").

Low tolerance in my case is getting to a [5] or [6] with what I feel like a very small quantity to get there. I can get to a [8] or more with a reasonably small quantity too. But I could (and did) smoke many g on the same day and I never greened out or anything like that.

Allow me to partly disagree, even though there is not such thing as "medical users" in my country.

I truly believe that the method works for everyone since we are all made of cells. Making it work though is a different story because it depends on whether you are able to take a break, as you mentioned. But not being able to do that does not mean that the method doesn't work.

Now, I believe that there are two ways of taking a break (as a recreational user at least). The hard way and the wrong way.

For instance, it is very easy for many people (including myself) to take a break if they are out of weed or if they go on a trip (business or vacation). But this type of break does not count in my opinion. It is too easy and can mislead you to think that you are not addicted. In reality if you are out of weed, you are just putting your brain on hold for as long as it takes, it's like a mind trick that sometimes we even do intentionally or unintentionally (i.e. when we are delaying the next purchase, just to make the break longer). And when you are on a trip, your environment and daily routine is totally different and exciting for your brain, so it's easier to forget about it. But this doesn't mean you are not addicted to the "happy hormones" it gives you.

The hard and most effective way of taking a break in my opinion, is doing it while you have a bag full of weed in your possession, being at your home with your daily routine going on as usual.. Usually you will find this type of break to be much more difficult. This is where you meet your true self and where you can realize if and how "addicted" you are. And this is the kind of break you have to take if you want the method to work, in my opinion. If you manage to do that, then you are more than half way there.

I've taken a few month long breaks and when starting again I was only using a pinch and feeling effects...

I'm currently using to much.... I can tell because I feel tired a lot and and just lazy. And I feel like I need to wake and bake in the morning and if I do I'm usually useless after that.

I am probably going to cut back again or take a break.

How often do you take a break when you actually have some on you? I cannot do this!

In the last ~10 years I've only done it once (5 months ago) and then I followed the method from the video I mentioned. I don't think I will need to do it again because I feel so satisfied now. The high is better and I don't feel the way you do in the morning anymore (and I know exactly what you mean).

It's not easy but it's definitely paying off for me. If you want to make it easier you have to provide as many "happy hormones" as you can to your brain during this period and physical exercise (running, biking, hiking etc) is the best way to do that in my opinion.

Before all this, things were a bit complicated. I used to smoke joints mixed with tobacco, so I believed that nicotine was driving me to smoke more weed. When I quit tobacco and started vaping weed only, I realized that I was wrong.. Quitting weed wasn't as simple as I thought because we are talking about psychological addiction. By that I mean that our brain isn't directly addicted to thc or whatever (like nicotine), but it's addicted to the beautiful "happy hormones" it provides to our system. And this is something that cannot be avoided, only redirected to more healthy sources. Of course now with my new tolerance, I feel that I never have to quit and this makes me really happy.. Cheers!
