it has to do with tolerance. both physical and mental.

if you eat cheeseburgers everyday for 3 years, you are eventually going to want to move on to tacos..

the quality and strain of the weed can effect the high also.

sativa is a head high, more uppy, cerebral....

indica is a couch-locking, ...downer almost. that will make one sleepy.

come on man. after a couple months of smoking you should know this shit! haha.

yeah, It was the same way for me, I started out smoking some shit mids, then eventually started up on heavy headies use... and now when i smoke mids, all i get is a depressant effect followed by extreme fatigue after a few hours. Recently i got a nice pickup of some quality heads... and that was the most amazing 7 and 1/2 hour high of my life... i couldnt sleep at all... even if i wanted to.

[fuckthepolice]

cool . im guessing that skunk is generally more associated with an indica high then . i guess ill just need to ask around for ways to get this better grass.

Yes, That was what truly amazed Swim... it was actually the use of the vaporizer that Swim's friend had... it was spanned out 1 g every 5 minutes for 5g each

Swim finds if he just sticks to smoking at the weekends then he has a good high every week, just about tolerence if Swiy smokes everyday or 3-4 days a week swiy will end up having to smoke a shit load more to get the same effect.

[Junket]

to the OP..

have your friend or whatever take a break.

even like a week will drastically effect how high one will get.

"Tolerance eliminated the giggles. Best to wait for awhile Nothing will still be like the early days though. My second time smoking weed, I got giggles unlike anything ever. Felt like hitting upon some sort of insanity. Also accompanied by that subtle little psychadellic trick Cannabis does where it feels like your blind or your sight is being twisted but when you focus, nothing visual has actualy changed at all."

SWIM has heard that a minimum three day break is needed to break a cannabis tolerance. Also, he has heard that some serotonin precursers like tryptophan + vitamin B6 right before bed each night help to keep the body loaded with serotonin since cannabis releases serotonin in the brain. SWIM's theory is that many swimmers are depleting their reserves of serotonin or maybe other neurotransmitters and just need to keep the body stocked.

Swim is quite sure cannabis doesn't deplete serotonin to a great extent. BUT, melatonin is made from serotonin and Cannabis does cause the body to release large amount of melatonin. This is a much bigger concern if a swimmer had used MDMA in the few days. Melatonin supplementation is a good idea.

welcome to regular use.
its all downhill from here.

"yeah i mean i've smoked for 11 years off and on, i smoke regularly now, just like anything after you do it enough times it stops being exciting and taking you by surprise, it's like a relationship, at first it's amazing and sunshine and rainbows and surprising and awesome, then it's just kind of an everyday goodness."

that's just life my man, it's true for drugs ay well as it is for just about everything else.

if you watched the same movie 100 times would it still make you laugh? unlikely.

when you cant get high on weed anymore that means you needs to stop to get your initial tolerance. a good 2 weeks is good enough to make you have a stronger hit. actually 1 week is ok already but if you really wanna smoke up like you first did you need to stop for at least a month or two.

[fuckthepolice]

i did .... i stopped for over a month and then when i started smoking again it wasnt that good.all my mates say it aswell. bud just makes us depressed and melted.ive been looking into it and it seems that i must jus be gettin indica weed all the time and need to find a supplier that does sativa!!.

well.. to tell you honestly my friend stopped for THREE months.. then i remember he took bud again, and he was pretty messed up, man. i agree with what you said. different supplier, different weed. it depends on the weed too.

[fantasma]

i think it's pretty common for people to lose the high they originally got after a certain amount of time. when i first started using it i was completely wrecked out of my mind... all my senses were amplified and i didn't understand how some people could get high and still act normal.
i guess after a few months of regular use that went away. i remember the specific day when i lost that high. i thought it was just shitty weed... but it kept happening.
anyway, i've learned these days that moderation is important if you want to get a better high. if you smoke it everyday you will just simply feel high but not really have any other effects... it's kind of a waste. if you do it once every few days there will be more effects.

"im sure you are correct in saying that you need to do it less frequently to get a better high.however i am not a frequent smoker. like once or twice a week on average. i did infact experience a good high recently when i bought a joint of a mates m8. the bud was much lighter green and dryer. so i guess the next step is growing or a trip to the dam."
