Tolerance Breaks, Do They Really Help?

[smokey green]

from my experiance it seems if I smoke the same strain for mor than a week or so, I build up a pretty good tolerance. Example= I take 5 or 6 rips off my bong when first starting a new strain and it bakes me.... but after a week or 2 I find myself consuming 2 bowls of that same strain...lol. I find switching strains makes a big difference. Ive taken a 2 week break and then smoked and got fried.. so either or works for me...

yeah im def. agreeing with you that tolerence breaks are good sometimes, but variety is da spice of life my friend... im spolied... everything i smoke is of the highest grade... and different shit like that keeps me blazed day in day out... i try to steer away from the sativas unless there clearly dank has hell!!!! so i mainly smoke highest grade indicas and indica doms

for sure the only two strains I blaze now that still get me where I want to be are sour kush and purple kush. bubblebomb is extremely good for the day, it has a lot of indica in it so it keeps me interested in the sativa aspects of it aswell.....

I'm just annoyed at my tolerance lately. every new strain I blaze it feels all the same because of sour kush and all the edibles I eat. tho I'm out of edibles that tincture I was goin a bit crazy on. .... 3.5 tablespoons each dose and I got super stoned every time.... but it's a way different high than low tolerance smoking....

I guess I don't really mind having this tolerance and waiting for edibles... but man if I had more shit to do in my day you bet my tolerance would be lower....

that's the one problem about growing the dankest shit, you know nobody can bring you anything that's gonna get you higher than what you have.....

great minds think allike.... thats how i "dispense" hash oil.. in a rolling paper just like that.... you can pretty much scrape all of it of useing a paperclip.. and anything that remains on the paper throw in the bowl!

hahaha for suree.. thats parchment paper though!




And yeah changing strains helps... thats why I have like 4 strains right now

i never take brakes, I just absentmindedly take longer between sessions and thats enough to bring the tolerance down a notch

yeah I really like to do that method a lot.... but it only works if I have shit to do . . . . otherwise it's very hard.

lol i used to sell oil in tinfoil and frozen... it would work ok for a while but the foil usually would tare and fuck up after so much molesting, and it was harder to scrape the last lil bit of oil of the crinckly foil but the plus is u can just put a lighter under the foil and smoke that oil like you would meth.... i like the rolling paper method better... i got super good at weiging up grams of oil by eye after busting out soo many... seems like every scoop i got was damn well near a gram on the money everytime

smoked some dank hash oil the other day.... I think I like it more than normal hash because it straight billows out smoke mm..... I think I may make some this year with my buddy.

lol who would wonder if tolerance breaks work???? thats why they call it TOLERANCE.... take a 3 days break and you'll be amazed at how high you get off of 1 or two hits...

and while switching strains and going to edibles work, they're only temporary fixes. the fact is you still aren't getting as high as you could be and every attempt to escape this will only lead you into higher tolerance besides a tolerance break.

well I know it works but what I mean is how effective is the break is it perpitual over time?

very effective. if you abstain for 3 days straight you will notice a dramatic difference!


if you abstain for a week you will be getting nearly as high as you did when you were a newbie... 2 weeks or more and I can almost guarantee you, you will be getting high like a newbie.

i went for a couple of months without. i didn't really notice much of a difference between how high i was getting before and how high after. then again i was so damn happy i had some bud again it's all kind of fuzzy. i usually have 3 diff genetics to smoke though so i mix it up a lot.

i'm retired and average 3 grams a day. if i could have smoked 3 grams a day while at work i'd still be working although i think my productivity would have suffered!

YES, i have been a daily smoker for about 2.5 years (with some exception) If i was hit up and couldn't buy i would be out for ussaly a week to a month, the first sack i got me BLOWN OUT and it was mexi-swag. where as the same weed dosent get me nearly as baked when it's constant.

i have been a heavy smoker for well over 10 years. yes, the good shit. before that i was in high school and a heavy smoker of the schwag...but back to tolerance breaks. first thing to understand is that there is a MAJOR difference in my tolerance as opposed to someone who can make an 8th last a week. not even remotely the same ballpark. if you're more of a casual smoker, tolerance breaks don't even need to be a part of your vocabulary. when you smoke grams upon grams day after day, you eventually hit a ceiling. then you go for the concentrates, and that's when you REALLY fuck your tolerance. it is at this point that a break is in order. for me, nothing less than a 30 day break is even worth it. sure after a week my tolerance has come back down a bit, but not that much. when your tolerance is too high for too long, the herb starts to lose its luster, and that's the biggest shame of all. i'm jealous of all the people who still get ripped off a single bowl of garden variety dank. bastards.

the sweet spot is very hard to find indeed... I too am guilty of resorting to concentrates (tincture specifically) when my tolerance hits the ceiling... then its even worse for days after that haha....
