    Man, I wish I could still get that high from finishing a normal joint! These days even a few huge rips from the dab rig rarely leads to machine elves.

      I know it sounds tedious, however I’d suggest weighing up your flower before you grind it up.

      I’ve been toking daily for a long time, most of a couple of decades, and this has helped me keep my tolerance in check. For the most part.
      The tolerance could still increase, but managing your own ‘dose’ can have alleviate the negatives (and also help you not spike the tolerance further).

      Also helps lower tolerance by gradually decreasing the amount you smoke. Like, if you go for a gram, ease into lower doses by going for 0.9 for a week, then 0.85, etc.

        I’ve done it a few times, generally during my winter break from alcohol. It’s weird for a few weeks, then it’s fine… but when I start smoking again my tolerance comes right back!

      I only get that high if it’s an infused joint that size, regulars barely do anything anymore. Otherwise, it’s a few bong tokes and edibles that get me there.

      I get racoon high after one puff. It’s been forever since I got high and my tolerance doesn’t exist

      If I touch even the slightest amount of THC, it’s straight to deathly palpitations and terrible feelings of impending doom. I took 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg respectively one day after the next and felt nothing each time. The next day I took 10 mg and I was higher than any human should ever be. I was sitting on the couch and my heart rate was 150 bpm. I’m sure it didn’t help that I had a greasy dinner.

        THC can often induce 5-10 minutes of tachycardia, which when paired with anxiety occasionally leads to paranoid freakouts in new users. Strains with a bit of CBD are usually much more pleasant for those folks.
