If you're like me and like to smoke on dank nugs/hash just about all the time, you might find tolerance to be an issue when you just don't get as high or the buzz is short lived. Besides a tolerance break, I've found MAO inhibitors to be the next best thing to get over that hump! 
Most of you probably know this already, as did I, but I had actually forgotten about them for awhile. Being low on my stash, I put a small chunk of Tangerine Diesel hash in my one hitter and loaded up a small glass bong with some syrian rue seeds, apparently the most potent natural source of MAOIs. WOW! It really intensifies the high. Each hit from the seeds is pretty much like another hit of weed, but not as tasty. Surprisingly seed smoke, at least from a bong, isn't that harsh at all, especially compared to how hash smoke feels in the lungs (good, POTENT hash has very heavy/concentrated smoke that expands in the lungs, making it extra hard to hold in). The biggest effect I seem to get from it is an elongation of the buzz. No joke, when I first started using them I'd feel blazed for 4-5 hours from a single blunt with rue seeds split between 2 people. Keep in mind the seeds are very cheap and weed is expensive. 
Keep in mind that this DOES blow your tolerance up, which for me isn't a big deal as I'm about to take a tolerance break before 4/20 anyway. Some people argue against weed tolerance, saying they smoke only small amounts at a time. While I guess that may be true (hell I smoke 2-3 months in a row before needing a break), if you're like me and like hitting the potent oils and blonde, flaky full melt hash ( medical FTW) then your tolerance may be a little fucked. 
There's other sources of MAOI alkaloids, passion flower is a common one, and it's also slightly relaxing. But you need loads of it. Rue seeds are the best I've tried. Apparently they are psychedelic in their own right so be careful. You can also eat them, but be even more careful then! There can be bad interactions with certain medications or food, but to the best of my knowledge the danger with food is minimal with "reversible" MAOIs such as the seeds/passion flower. Reactions with medications ARE MORE SEVERE SO BE CAREFUL. I'm not on anything so I am fine. Except coffee...but I have a tolerance to that too. Also, AVOID AT ALL COSTS if you are the type prone to freaking out from a little too much THC.
Happy smoking!
