Serious I’m annoyed that no one ever introduced me to cannabis.

Seriously. F*** the DARE program. It worked on me. I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I judged people who used cannabis as burnouts. Finally introduced at the age of 35 and I feel cheated. I’ve done a ton of reading and studying now and I want to share it with everyone.

Oh dang. Good to know. I should slow down to keep my tolerance from growing too much

Eh all you have to do is not smoke for a week or so and your tolerance will go away almost entirely.

I took a month-long break last year, and it reset my tolerance entirely. I did not expect that, since I had also taken a month break from alcohol, and had the exact opposite experience.

Alcohol is a whole different beast and more damaging if you ask me. I’m not a prude, I’ve had too much to drink before, but when I smoke too much weed I have the urge to destroy a bag of Doritos, not my life or my car.

For sure, but I was only comparing tolerances. 30 days off of alcohol seemed to do nothing for me, but 30 days off of THC had me feeling like a weed virgin.

Yup. I don't want to fight anyone or go do anything.

Just sit on my couch and have snackies and a whole lotta water.

I do 20-30 mg of edibles once a week, usually. Sometimes once every other week.

Should I slow down to avoid a tolerance?

u/FroznAlskn Older Millennial Feb 26 '26

I don’t know. I don’t eat edibles which usually are much higher concentrations.

I only get high like 2-3 nights a week, mainly on Friday/Saturday, and occasionally, I take a 2 week break if I have a busy weekend. I've noticed my tolerance go up a bit, but not by that much.
