How does the whole "tolerance" thing with weed work?
Its mainly a mental thing right?
Is tolerance built more quickly through smoking frequently? Or through smoking large amounts at one time?

when you feel yourself starting to become tolerant, change strains.
this will work for awhile, but like with every drug the more you take the more you will eventually need to reproduce the same effects.

i think tolerance is more related to how much you do it...not how much you actually smoke. if you get high every day for every week, eventually you'll get used to the high to the point that it wont be anything like it was before you were used to it...

that definatly explains it. i always wondered why tolerances never seemed to care about strains. never thought of the brain getting used to the feeling. it makes sense though, and im pretty sure that thats how the weed tolerance works now.

man smoking weed back in the day when i was like 13/14 was a fucking wild ride. i didn't even like smoking. I would go absolutely outta my mind and almost hallucinate and shit like that. now adays it's just a way to relax my mind from the hard day. when i smoke i can feel the thc hit my brain and it's awesome. It's such a harmless drug once you get used to it.

Tolerance (simplified or made more complex.. I dunno)
Basically Tolerance works like a stock.
Everytime you sell a stock the value goes down (partake). Whenever you don't sell the stock it goes up (abstain).
So if you partake everyday, then your stock will plummet. And if you rarely partake then your stock will be worth a lot.
Most people's "stocks" have a max value. In which case if you abstain from smoking weed for a year vs a month you won't get any extra benefit because it can't go any higher.

All I know is, if you stop smoking for a month, and start up again, the first time smoking FUCKS you up!
