Who do you know that uses the most cannabis?

[Vaked420]

This isnt limited to any one form of ingestion. The most I ever smoked was an ounce a month through pipes and bongs. Now I vape probably half a gram to a gram a week.

On the other hand my neighbor dabs about half a gram of some of the best bubble hash and rosin around, and knows many people who dab up to an eighth of hash a day and take half gram dabs like they're nothing. I've always found it so interesting, how much tolerance can flex. I just vaped probaby .03 grams out of my flight box and I'm definitely stoned, but my neighbor on the other hand can dab .05 grams of hash and be similarly stoned, where as that much hash would get me mega stoned for hours. And I remember my tolerance being hella high. It just seems with the fact that weed isn't toxic it's interesting seeing the limits that some peoples tolerances can get up to.

And just as a side note in case it came of that way I'm not hating on anyone who smokes a ton, and I would be a hypocrit if I did cause I was stoned 24/7 up until a couple months ago and got by just fine. So who do you know that smokes the most or has the highest tolerance?

i used to grow. when i first retired i was smoking 8, 1 gram joints a day. everyday for about a year. i was winding down from years of work stress.

i then went to 6, 1/2 gram joints a day on average but i was still getting too high to do anything. i finally found a vape i like (extreme Q for the bag) and am now down to less than a gram a day and i stay nice and toasty all day long, except for nap time. it's easier just to go buy it than grow it now.

Me, lol. Although my bestie and my caregiver are right up there with me. I usually vape at least two ounces of herb a month. And at least an 8th of concentrates. It can certainly be more.

I'm sure that isn't impressive to some, however.

Wow I didn't realise people vape this much. How is that possible. With work and kids, there just isn't enough time vape more than 0.4 a day for me. And that's going for it.

 

[momofthegoons]

It's one of the perks of being retired lol.

 

[throwawaytre3s]

That's a hard one to tell, really. My girlfriend and her brother, and my best friend, typically all smoke together. It's rare to have a solo session with just me or me and my girlfriend. That'll be changing soon, since I'll be able to smoke alone more often. We can go through a half in 4 days though, but I guess between 3-4 people that's not bad.

One of the delivery services around here is owned buy a guy who smokes about a half a day. I think he rolls fatties though, the rest through bongs.

I find that vaping turns me (most folks) into Antman!
I partake all day long but usage is so down compared to burning....

 

[kellya86]

If I was antman my stash would last forever. As long as I shrunk myself down ,with my vape, before my session, I could sit in my jar and vape forever.

it helps to be retired!

 

[kellya86]

Surely that messes with your tolerance. Not something I'll have to worry about. I'll be working till I drop.

 

[seaofgreens]

I am off season and only working maybe 20-40 hours variable schedules through winter, and with that schedule vape about as much as @momofthegoons in retirement.

I should maybe t-break

I know a dude that goes through an oz./week when he is out of his own/buying, and 2-3oz./week when he is flush with his own... It's the 1+ gram pure weed joints, 10 times a day that does it.

 

[kellya86]

Thats fucking insanity. That man wants his head seeing too. 3oz a week is not helping anyone, except his dealer maybe.

I fail to see why people continue to consume silly amounts of herb, knowing their tolerance is going to shit.

Less is more with weed. People who have lower tolerance, generally enjoy weed more. I know when I was combusting I got up to about 1.5grams a day. And that was enough for it to lose its magic. Now that I vape small amounts, the magic is back in my life and I look forward to vaping after work every day.

 

[momofthegoons]

Now hold on.....

One man's 'silly' amount is another person's correct amount for their needs. It's all subjective. And what works for them does not, apparently, work for you. But calling them silly or condemning them for their usage? Seems a bit harsh.

I will admit to using more than I 'need.' But that doesn't take away from the enjoyment. And, I tend to keep a steady stream of meds in me during the day. I amp it up at night. For me, it takes the place of pain meds. Those pain meds crippled me; I couldn't function. That is not the case with the amount of marijuana I use and with that usage, the amount of pain meds I use has diminished to almost none. Most people cannot tell I am even 'stoned,' unless it's right after I've vaped/dabbed and I've got a bit of the sillies until it balances out.

So let's not get critical of those who use more than others.

 

[kellya86]

Maybe I came across wrong I wasn't bashing anyone. Just can't believe it's possible to consume that much, and if so surely you would benifit from cutting down a bit.

I want calling people silly. I was referring to the amount of herb as a silly amount.

If the weed is not working so well then surely there is 2 choices, consume more, or consume less.

Consuming more is compounding the problem.

Consuming less is curing the problem.

And making your medicine more effective.

 

[momofthegoons]

Here's the thing... I don't need to cut down. Nor do I choose to. I have a steady, ample supply of quality meds and it's how I choose to roll.

And, imo, you wont see those in that same situation feeling any differently. It's those who cannot afford or cannot get this type of supply that are wondering wtf. A bit of sour grapes perhaps?

I'm just saying that telling those who consume more than those who don't that they should be cutting back or that they are using 'silly' amounts is inaccurate and, perhaps, insulting. To each their own.

MOTG you must remember he is on metric.
The problem is one of perception. You cannot see into another man's heart but you can see his actions.

An ounce is an ounce is an ounce.... no matter what system you are on.

 

[kellya86]

Look I wast trying to put anyone down. I was mearly suggesting that people may benifit from lowering there tolerance. As for sour grapes. I cultivate myself so that's not an issue for me. I could consume high, (won't say silly again in case I offend), amounts, but I chose not too as I feel it takes away from the magic. Am I not allowed an opinion here.

Nowhere in my post did I tell anyone to consume less.

I doubt I insulted anyone, but if anything I feel insulted that your bashing my opinion. I thought we was all reasonable on here.

Problem? What problem?

Magic time all day for me. No problem what so ever, here.

 

[Farid]

It's only a problem if you're experiencing negative symptoms. If you consume an oz a day, but feel great, more power to you. But if you are complaining about gastrointestinal irritation, night sweats, or other negative symptoms associated with cannabis, and you use a very high amount of cannabis, I would suggest evaluating your relationship with the plant before writing off cannabis as the source of the problem.

FWIW - the one thing that would be silly consuming that amount a week, is if you are paying full street price in UK.

3oz a week = @£600 - I don't earn that much a week - let alone spending just that amount on weed, if I did that would be really silly and I would be up to my eyeballs in debt in no time! Not to mention probably lose my job and my wife!

However, I understand that in the wake of MMJ, preconceived concepts of acceptable consumption from the old smoking sub-culture of illegal MJ cannot be applied. Take as much as you need to assist with what ever ails you!

I think my mate is silly that he consumes 4 ibuprofen and a double scotch daily and if he doesn't take them with the scotch, they don't work. However, I appreciate he consumes them for a medical reason (pain relief) and if it works for him, my opinion is irrelevant.

Aside from him being an alcoholic, daily consumption of ibuprofen can't be good for your stomach, it's a clinical fact they can cause duodenal stomach ulcers.

Though I also think this could be a little bit of 'Lost In Translation', as it seems 'silly' is more of an insult state side than it is consider in the UK.

I did not say your opinion was putting anyone down. And, of course, you are entitled to it. I asked you to rethink it. What works for one might not work for another.

Nowhere in my post did I tell anyone to consume less.

Then perhaps I may have misinterpreted these comments:

Consuming more is compounding the problem.

Consuming less is curing the problem.

And making your medicine more effective.

To me, it sounds as if you were saying I (we) should consume less for my meds to be more effective.

I doubt I insulted anyone, but if anything I feel insulted that your bashing my opinion. I thought we was all reasonable on here.

I apologize for insulting you. I was not bashing your opinion; rather explaining mine. But, honestly? I felt a bit insulted, so I guess you did insult someone. But... I also know that the written word, on a forum, can be misconstrued. So instead of telling you I was insulted, I qualified my usage. Again.. sorry if you misconstrued my intent.

 

[I'm Ron Burgundy?]

Amount of consumption depends on need. Some medical users need to be medicated all day to manage pain. If you're blowing through an eighth a day as a recreational user then yeah that's probably too much. But in the end it's subjective.
I vape a gram per day. Some days more and some days less, but average is 1 gram.

 

[kellya86]

@momofthegoons, I wasnt telling anyone to do anything I was stating facts about tolerance issues. Didn't mean to sound like I was pushing my ideas on anyone.
I'm sorry for insulting you or anyone else. It was not my intention.

Some light reading on tolerance and the brain...

I was only ever trying to make the point that cannabis is more effective with lower doses.
