Weed tolerance...whats the high like when your tolerant?

Well I've always seemed to be a weekly smoker at the most, usually just blazing once on the weekend, if not then every other weekend. But that seems to be changing. Over the past 4 days I've blazed 3 times. This won't continue because I can't afford it, but I still get the feeling that I'll be blazing more than once a week.
This kinda gets me down a bit because when I usually smoke weed I get FUCKED. I'll see people out of the corner of my eye talking and making noise when they aren't there, get CEVs, and "melt" like on mushrooms. Either way the second and third day I blazed contained none of this. I got a good body buzz and was giggly, still fun, but nothing compared to normal. This could be because it was daytime and I was out walking around, so I had to suppress the high, but I've got a feeling I've got a tolerance coming on.
So I've got a question for all you daily smokers out there...Whats the high like that you get now when you blaze compared to when you first started blazing? Do you think it's worth blazing every/every other day, or do you wish you had have stayed to a more moderated amount? Thanks.

Weed for me back in the day is like shrooms for me now.
I used to trip out, get visuals, laugh for hours, etc. It used to last all day from just one bowl, too.
Now, I can still get high from just a few hits, but it only lasts an hour, and its much more sedative and numbing than psychedellic now.
My advice is this...if you like to be messed up everyday, then weed is the way to do it. Don't become an alcoholic or an amphetamine/opiate addict.
But if you want weed to be psychedellic and something special, smoke it a few times a month.

it has nothing to do with tolarance per se (is that how you say it?) it's more like you get used to the cannabis realety and compensate...
if you sit at home all day and smoke then you won't really feel much of it becouse it's just there the whole time if i know i'm gonna be having a STONED day then i rather smoke a shitload and get really high and then smoke more only a few hours later (again a shitload more) then smoke throughout the day
i have friends who never seem to actualy "come down" they just smoke and smoke and smoke... and belive me it takes the fun out of it it just turns to a life style to a diffrent realety (which is OK but not as fun as getting really high once or twice a day and riding it out)

imho weed can be psychedellic on a daily basis as well... just depends on how you smoke it (like i described in my previuse post)
but you're right about weed being better then any other drug for daily use that's for sure

the differences are huge. the first time i smoked over the summer i had liek 5 enourmous bong hits. i was so stoned i was getting lost when people were saying single sentences "travis..." "huh..? what?" "want to go eat now?" "wha.. eat.. wait.. eat. what?"
That was intense. I barely could walk. At the end it was pretty shitty cause i got in a bad thought loop. but the day after and after that when i smoked, it was about 10% of waht i did the first time.. smoking withing a few days of the first time REALLY makes it less... thats why stoners always think im lame when they hear me tell my stories I always wait like 1 week, then get blitzed and out of my mind. its way better imo than just doing it everyday

THC builds up a tolerance rather quickly, when u smoke everyday you're no longer feeling the trippy THC but only the sedating CBD, which is fine if u wanna be sedated, but i rather smoke occasionally, and not smoke for a while before i trip so that when i combine the two i get that extra kick!

Ive been going a fair while now and I'd say its definately different... The times when your having a big sesh, you put that much more in your joints and bongs to get high and you just smoke that much more quantity wise. It's a nice feeling to be able to man a few consecutive bongs/shotties and just sit back witha grin and let your head race rather than feeling overwhelmed. I'd say it also provides an awesome companion to anything if you do it that much: If I'm trippin esp with acid it gives me the most awesome sense of being at home, kinda like the weeds really a part of me and my life.
But, at the sametime you've gotta make sure you get shit done first, it's so easy to just smoke up straight away and then just bounce around the whole day and get nothing acomplished. I have read differently but personally, I also find myself to be much more awake and alert if I haven't smoked up for a little while...I get real hyper at work around 4/5 in teh afternoon just before I finish, altho I think thats partly because I know I'm going to smoke up as soon as I get home. At the end of the day, the main problem is the money...its quite pricey to be blazed everyday!

I remember when i first started smoking. Weed was great. I could sit and laugh at a caterpiller crawling on a branch for hours. After a few years, the weed starts to lose its magic. I quit smoking for a year in hopes that i could get that magic back. But the tolerance stayed for that long. I wish i could go back to those days when i could actually make myself believe that a reed of bamboo was a sword, and that i was actually in ancient Japan....

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to cut back as much as I can, and try to keep it as a weekend thing for the most part, cause it gets you higher, it won't hurt your lungs as bad, and you can save some money. Makes sense to me.

I usually smoke 4-5 days in a row, all day long per month. First two days are always trippy, but later on the trippy effects dissapear. It's always good to wait a while to make it special.

I don't know the science behind tolerance, but this is what I've always thought. I came to the same conclusion with the come-up of Mushrooms. When something is sparsely applied you don't get accustomed to it as quick, but after doing it repetitively for a while you get used to it. Like this:

It's more of a psychological thing even after the THC has left your body.IMHO You just get used to living and thinking that way all the time when you smoke daily.
Just my opinion, for what it's worth.....
-------------------- Absense of evidence is not evidence of absense... "Religion is a defense against a religious experience" Carl G. Jung "So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna

Eh, if your going to make a daily habit out of a drug. Marijuana is probably the best one in my opinion.

Weed used to make me really tripped out and wacky. But honestly, if I want to get that far gone, I'll take a few shots (hooray for being an alcohol lightweight!) or... y'know, eat some shrooms.
Nowadays, I have so much work with college two jobs that at the end of the day, when I'm tired and stressed and angry at everything I just go outside, hit a bowl, and it brings me right back down to baseline. If it wern't for weed, I'd probably have clobbered my roomate a few weeks ago by now.

I usally smoke around twice a day 4 or 5 days a week, and I still manage to get really high most of the time. My first piece of advice is to buy a bong. Go to a head shop and buy a bong. I bought one a year ago and have probably smoked like 90% of the weed from the last year out of it. Why? Because it's better for you, it's more conservative because little to no smoke gets wasted into the air, and you can take massive hits. Aside from the bong,I think it's all the mindset. I almost never get really high if there's something I'm worried about, or if I have to do something after I get high. I never get high when I know I'm just going to stand around work all day. But on the other hand, if I turn on some good music, dimm the lights, relax and toke up, two bowls and I'm blazed. Another thing that has been mentioned before is making sure you come all the way down before getting high again. If I smoke again after "peaking" from another time, I never get all that high again, just sort of confused and muddled. Also, I find that pigging out, as fun as it is(damn that food tastes good!) usually kills my buzz and prevents me from getting high untill my stomach shrinks back down to normal size.
I guess in summary, to beat the tolerence I:
1) BONG 2) RELAX 3) RIDE IT OUT before repeating

When you have a tolerance its much more of a body high, relaxing experience with very little, to no inhibiting of stayin in the moment. When you don't have a tolerance, its a goofy, "i'm fuckin trippin out", mind/body experience.

I'd say I have some tolerance. When I first started smoking, maybe once a week or a few times a week, it was all for laughs and shit. For the last year, being used to it in my system for most parts, 24/7, with breaks or lower amounts during the day than usual, has allowed my mind to be clear and my brain to stop racing.
I smoke mids for the good body feelings, but no, I enjoy who and the way I am this way. I have set goals for myself, which I accomplish, and I feel motivated.
It's all about respect.

I still get very high, just have to smoke a bit more. And the high does change... persay. What really changes is your newness to it and your ability to handle yourself while on it. The high is still there, but like everything the more you get used to it, the less it "effects" you. I say that meaning it still effects me very much, i'm just very used to it, so it doesn't "effect" me the same.. if any of that babble made sense.

I enjoy the tolerance more actually. Mainly because its the diffrence between getting really blazed, or getting buzzed. Occationally smoking, I'd be waaay to fucked up to goto somewhere I have to function, like school or work...
Then again, I dont like getting really really fucking drunk either... I'd just preffer to get a buzz going and stay socially drunk (drunk enough to have a good conversation)
