Another medication question, it’s like I’m a broken record. I’m a chronic pain patient and have for about ten years taken opioids for pain. I started on vidicon and have worked my way up to morphine and oxycodone. Even with the strong stuff about every year or two they lose their effectiveness due to tolerance and the footage has to go up. Pretty common with opioids.
What amazes me is I have a friend who has been doing pot for thirty plus years now and he still manage to get stoned off one joint. Now granted he doesn’t get baked as hard as when we were in high school, but still gets a pretty good high from a single joint. Does marijuana have a lower tolerance resistance then say opioids? I would think that after thirty years of smoking everyday he would need a bale of the stuff to get high.
Interesting. I haven’t smoked any in probably twenty five years and I had no idea that quality of weed has increased. If the price had stayed relatively the same I guess that’s a win win for users.
I am fairly sure that this is bullshit. I remember seeing ads for drug treatment centres in the mid 1980’s. They talked about how much more powerful of the weed of the 80s was compared to the weed of the 60s. Now, I don’t know what weed was like in the 60s, but I do know what it was like in the 80s and I do know what it is like now. There is little difference between high end stuff from then and now. Perhaps the quality of ‘ditch weed’ has gone up, but the high end has always been pretty high (HA!).
The secret to pot is smoking very small amounts and spacing them over long periods. Unlike alcohol or most pain pills you can literaly smoke yourself down. After your first toke in the morning anything else you smioke will have very shortlived and deminished effects. At least 8 hours apart for max benefits and you will never build any tolerance.
I agree with you 100%, in the 50’s and early 60’s it was different, it would feel like you had a tightband wrapped around your head. It was good but not as potent, typically 1/2 joint might do what about 2 or 3 hits does today.
