Maximum High from THC

I've been smoking pot for about 4 years now, and I do it fairly often (couple times a week). In the past (as recent as 4-5 months ago), I was able to get very high from weed and usually would have to stop smoking after a gram to myself because i would be high enough. Nowadays, I have a maximum high and it isn't very high at all. I smoke maybe a one paper to myself and that as high as i can possibly be. Rolling up another joint does no good. Does this happen to anybody else? Have you been able to overcome the maximum high? thanks for the help.
p.s. this maximum high seemed to set in after my first third plateau trip on DXM but that may have nothing to do with it.

My tolerance seams to of leveled off maybe 3 years ago. I can still get high from a single bong hit, but i prefer many more.
Only thing you can do is start taken bigger breaks. The longer time i put between smokes makes the high much better.

It dosn't matter how good the bud is, when you smoke it everyday you'll build up a tolerance. Then if you take some time off, and smoke again you'll get real blazed.

I definately get a tolerance, especially if I smoke the same strain all the time, I don't give a fuck how good it is. Try drinking a couple beers along with it. That should do the trick.

some cannabis have different 'ceilings'...meaning how high you get on a certain strain. some herbs, mostly indicas, have a lower ceiling than others and other herbs, like sativas, have this 'exponential' effect where the more you smoke, the higher you get. sativas usually have a higher ceiling.. hard to explain for me.

This is a fairly common problem, with a variety of solutions I have heard or experienced. I hear taking 5-HTP before smoking will help enhance the high and raise the ceiling, as felix referred to it, so you can keep getting higher. You could also try different methods of smoking, such as using a vaporizer, or making brownies. You could grow your own high quality sativa and make hash oil (IME, it's hard to get a tolerance to hash or hash oil.) Or, the easiest to do, you could take a break and spread out your smoking sessions
-------------------- So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

I hate smoking in more than one session per day. That really fucks the high up the second time.
I usually take 2 days off smoking maybe once a month. I only need to smoke a joint a night mostly and I'm fucked. I get real nice weed though
One thing I've found that works is smoking a bit of salvia before you get stoned. I ran out of extract, and the leaf doesn't do much on its own, but with weed I find it adds another aspect to the high.

I have experienced tolerance issues, too. Quitting for a couple weeks will help your tolerance lower but quitting for a month will make it much better.
For example, I had been smoking basically every day for a couple years and then I went to college last fall. I couldn't smoke during Fall semester, so I went to visit home in October (3 months worth of being sober). Well, two hits of some regular shwag and I was laughing my ass off. So if you quit for a little while, it will beat down your tolerance a little.

i think that says it all. i got a 1/4 of some good sativa about a month ago, before that it was christmas. man that was some good shit, "Christmas Kind Bud" we called it. all i usually get is some mid-grade indica buds, does the trick but a good sativa every now and then is badass i smoke everyday and i find that if i smoke just a bowl a day, and then smoke like a joint or two after a week, my tolerance goes down a bit

For some reason, I have no tolerance to weed. I'm not saying that every time I get high, its as good as my first time, but I always get stoned faster than anyone around me.

Dude, I got to the point were i could smoke a blunt (twin bag sized blunt) and be only buzzed. About this time i quit because of probation, its been 3 weeks and NO drugs. I cant wait till i get off anf see how low my tolerance is, its gonna be great, back to the days of smoking a bowl or two and being blazed
