Lower Tolerance?

[Coach McGuirk]

I've been smoking for a few years now, pretty much daily for the past 7+ months, and lately I've been getting really REALLY high off of just 1-2 hits.

This has been happening for over a month now and it definitely saves me weed [which is awesome ]. The problem is that often I feel myself getting TOO high and getting super bad dry mouth along with anxiety/paranoid feelings... after sometimes only 1 hit.

The only thing i can think of is that I started taking Lexapro again about 3 months ago after stopping for a few months (this coming after about 6 months of taking it).

Sorry to ramble.. but wtf?

I'm a recent smoker, and i've smoked alot of good quality medical cannabis (in large quantities) and I have anxiety issues without weed. I've never had an anxiety attack on weed, and paranoia for me consists of looking over my shoulder because I thought I saw something every 20 minutes.

Reassuring myself that i'm ok and just relaxing the mind usually does it for me. Ever think of meditation or a nice relaxing song with a bowl of ice cream? Are you in a familiar environment?

In a weird coincidence i've recently stopped taking lexapro (about 2 weeks ago) and am on medication that hasn't set in yet from what I can tell, weed has actually been helping my anxiety/depression

[Coach McGuirk]

Yea since ive started smoking the anxiety and crap have just been a LOT easier to handle. Now that I'm high and NOT feeling like shit , I realized that most of the time i get the 'jitters' is because im not really relaxed before i start smoking. and the nervousness and stuff isn't the result of smoking.. its just that i get high and i tend to mistake some of the sensations i get as anxiety-related..

try getting lower quality bud. I like smoking fat J's but I don't like smoking fat J's of KB all the time because sometimes I get too high and it would make my tolerance go way up and it will take alot more kb to get me high. To fix my problem I smoke lower quality than straight nug in Joints most of the time and save the real nice for bowls and 1 hits.
But ya try lower quality or maybe you just got to the point where every time you get high you get paranoid and freak. I say lower quality or you might have to quit which sucks.

yeah october makes a good point...
i had a friend who went through a faze like this
but it just took him a while to get his head right and work through it

[blackxs]

omg i really hope i get reverse tolerance because it takes me so much weed to get high :(

[(weedguru)scarf]

i have been smoking for years and it really still doesnt take me that much to get a good buzz

[Octoberbuds]

My father inlaw has been toking since he was a teen. He has told me that he would get 100lbs at a time and sell 4 finger lids for $20 or something like that. So I know he's no chump. He now smokes 1 pinch hit and he is blazed. He could smoke schwagg and he will still get blazed of a pinch. He smokes regularly but he only has to smoke a pinch and he's gone. So I guess sometimes Tolerance has to do with the person not just how much you smoke and how often.

[Coach McGuirk]

Yep this is the exact same thing thats happening to me. lol its pretty awesome though when i only need like a pinch (in a one-hitter) to get blazed at work, and then stay high for hours. fun stuff

the other day i smoked a joint, and i didnt even feel a little buzzed afterward. usually it doesnt take me too much to get high, but it was really weird cuz i felt nothing after a whole joint. thats never happened to me before besides the first time i smoked. that joint was the only one i had so it really sucked. i got high the next day though so i guess i still can but it ws weird either way

[smokey_mc_weed]

yeah i went like 5 weeks with out a joint just trying to get it out of my system. and last night i rolled a small joint with little papers. and i could bearly smoke the hole thing. i have a feeling me and this 8th are going to last a very long time.
