Hi everyone, hope you are all doinng good. Was going to send this as a PM to our beloved @musashi , but others might benefit from the information so I will make a thread.

So basically my tolerance is a joke. I have always been able to smoke more than my friends, as I don't mind the feeling of being overwhelmingly high, so I will often push the boat. I have debated a few times on whether what I am growing is that strong, but it definitely is top quality herb. When I say my tolerance is high, I could quite easily smoke 5-7g in a day when it is this high, and I cannot reach the level of medicated I like to be. particularly when I am trying to relax in the evening. I primarily use a volcano vaporizer, and would use about 2-3g per day in it, but it really is getting frustraiting at how high my tolerance has gotten. I have tried t breaks before, and that is why I am writing this post. About 3 weeks ago I had a t break for 10 days where I didnt smoke anything. The first joint/ bag after that break absolutely destroyed me. 2 joints in, and it was enough for the night and I was extremely medicated. However 2 weeks on, my tolerance is back to what it was before the break.

Part of the issue is that I only usually have 2 or 3 strains at a time, so maybe I am just overdoing it on the same smoke constantly?

Any tips? I am assuming it is probably time to take another break, and when I start toking again maybe dont chase the dragon so much? Thanks!

WOW ! 5-7gm/day.
I would dedicate a whole plant for infusion. Infuse 200gm into 1L coconut oil, in a crock pot. You have to add in stages as you wont get all 200gm covered in oil, in one go. I go extreme. Cook six hours, let cool 6 hours or overnight, start again add more flower. I do this over 3 days.
Once you have the filtered the oil from flower material, infuse 60ml of oil into 200grams of Dark Belgian chocolate. Get a silicon mold and make 3gm chocolates.
Take one chocolate with dinner...... your body will guide you the rest of the way.
A nice side effect, you wake up calm and happy. When you have your 1st coffee, it will kick in again.
So use the chocolates to make you feel medicated and smoke what you want for the pleasure.
I hope that helps.

Cheers mate! Yep, definitely the curse of growing. I started growing because I was spending so much, now I have as much as I want, I tend to overindulge!

Thank you for the tips with edibles, I have loads of abv left so I might use some of that with some fresh herb. Good idea with the chocolate too. Every time I have made it before it sits in the fridge as I just have medicated coconut oil, and it's quite rough taking it as it is. Definitely gonna try making it though. Thanks again
 
Genetics and metabolic rate can contribute to tolerance. Longer periods of abstinence is good practice for many reasons. Alternating between different strains (terpenoid profiles) is also helpful. Ingestion as @Zimbo suggests more efficiently metabolizes delta-9 THC into 11-hydroxy THC thereby increasing potency and duration.

Consider eating hash as a healthy alternative to smoking, along with capsules and tinctures. All 3 will definitely fu up. Personally, after 60 years of smoking, I've recently tried going back to my Arizer vape (not cartridge- too dangerous), but it is not satisfying and where's the ritual? Coconut mixtures in your tea and sativa tinctures are good during the day. But simply eating hash sans sugar is where it's at and works very well indeed.

your welcome bro. It has helped me and many others with really serious problems.
It certainly does help when you grow for yourself, so many ways to skin the self medication cat, lol.
 
Welcome to the rise of super HQ black market seeds.

(aka high quality, potent drug plant, unique seeds, not feminized, not skunked, not crossed with hemp.)

Shadowy figures in the background trading without permits, risking fines and imprisonment and cancellation to bring you real HQ medicine that was unregulated, and openly accessable to humanity since thousands years before Gautama Buddha was born up to about 55 years ago where it started getting removed from peoples hands, and has gotten much much more restricted and controlled in the past 25 years, without any sign for hope of the situation getting better. I mean, people reading this are actively funding the process everytime they make a purchase, empowering the exploiters in the highly immoral and highly corrupt "legal market."

Just say, No. Take a stand against the rape of cannabis and reclaim your human heritage. Look into other options. You will find them.

So when they come out with the THC caps on what the public can have without a special permit you pay for, you aren't stuck with using hempy underperforming diluted legal genetics. Or if they decide to stop selling dead end genetic seeds altogether and position themselves as the approved corporate dealer to just sell you the end product (for safety reasons) and set the market prices themselves, you don't have to be reliant on them. What are you going to do? Nurse your hermaphroditic plants along for the next ten years, picking off the bananas? ...Or whatever their next step in their end game may be, just make sure you are one step ahead, and not just the next sheep in line to get sheared. Again.20250813_134829.jpg

Let's break it down for buddy with the science and fact based evidence so he understands why his commercial purchases just don't cut it anymore. Perhaps it plays a role in his problem in some way.

Come now Dyhan, use your brain a bit before posting complete and utter nonsense.

You're on the Mr Nice Forums. You didn't think perhaps my tolerance is high because I am constantly smoking home grow primo, not some random crap I'm finding in a dispensary?

Never seen a new member burn so many bridges and look so ignorant in so few days.
 
Beautiful post there Mu.
That deserves to be framed and hung on the wall.

Mixing a few different strains or pheno's together gets me HIGH AF.

The strains with the least tolerance build up so far are Shark Shock and Neville's Haze (daytime).
The Nevilles Haze is good combining two different pheno's one up one down in effect.
Medicine Man for sleeping.
Nordle mixed with Shark Shock or Nevilles Haze for later in the day when looking visibly G-unit is more acceptable.

I reckon I’d be the other end of the spectrum.
Won’t say tips but what I can reduce my philosophy down to.
*I always try to get back to zero between doses
*30 different strains allows once per month repetition if desired
*A mixture of delivery options: edibles, vape dry flower, oil concentrate
*having good relationship with the herb, avoid monetisation, and share with love

I imbibe every day. I enjoy the different onset times and feel from different delivery methods. I never find myself hanging for my next hit, or phased because I haven’t got around to it. I don’t keep up with my peers, finding own dosage is critical. My stash embraces 3-4 years in the garden and about +75 strains (I still get excited about forgotten strains and changes to effects over the years of curing).

I once was a bong addict (decades), and realised I was maintaining an equilibrium, and perceived a greater psychoactive effect when without. I.e. I was straight when constantly ripped. Many of my peers have fucked lungs and 3-4 decades of bongs make it hard for them to shift to other delivery methods. I always envisioned this medicine in my autumn years.

It’s been an unexpected journey, but I love the plant, and the shift it produces on my perception is essential for my health, well being and being honest to my soul.
I thought I’d build up a tolerance over the last 5-8 years, but I haven’t yet.
It’s not for everyone, but I’ve had two periods of heavy tobacco use intertwined and a good period of functioning alcoholic also. I’ve embraced the boredom of sobriety and occasionally do a full reboot with acid or shrooms.

Anyway, been wanting to reply Lozac, good fortune with your journey.
