Is there an upper limit to how high a user can get from MJ? Like, is there a point at which, regardless of how much more you smoke, your brain can’t process any more THC and you’re not going to get higher?
I believe there are folks doing research to find the answer at every college in America. 
Don’t discount the vital, groundbreaking test-studies underway in both the Netherlands and Willie Nelson’s tool shed…
pretty sure you pass out before this happens
I don’t know I could ask some people I used to know in Oregon; I’ve passed out a few times before even we started. Those people are freaks of nature.
I once tripped for 3 days on marijuana.
Did you continue to get higher and higher or once long continuous high of mostly the same potency?
I ingested about a quarter ounce of oily buds in yogurt.
I overstated a little bit. The effects started about 20 minutes after ingestion. By one hour I was in a full-blown trip, that intensified over the next six to eight hours to unbearable levels. It then plateaued for about 24 hours, then gradually diminished over the next 24 hours. By day 3 I just felt very stoned.
It was one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life.
Different people react differently. Some fall asleep, others start hallucinating.
What are “oily” buds?
Sticky icky
Long ago, in the years covered by the statute of limitations, I smoked half an ounce of hashish in about four hours.
There is no way to quantify how high you are. But I did stay rocket ship high for most of the three day weekend, couldn’t sleep, and had no idea about time. I wandered around the city, very very lost, although not particularly worried about it. I got on a train, got off the train, had to ask how to get back to Amsterdam.
I ate a good bit, but couldn’t finish any of the meals. Then I would smell food somewhere and eat again. The art museum was the most wonderful place I had ever been, and I was asked to leave several times because it closed. The last time was on Tuesday evening. I was quite surprised when I saw the paper. I took the train back to my base, and when I got there, the first thing my roomate said was “Man, you are stoned!”
I did sleep a bit. But had no trouble getting up. I think I was still high on Thursday.
So, using thirty or more times the general upper limit that a person would take at one time, I just got very high, for a very long time, and was still pretty much under the influence for a week. My roomate assured me that the hash was “really good shit.”

After such a heavy experience how much time elapsed before you went under the influence of THC again ?
Which is more mind-altering, vaporizing, smoking, or ingesting?
You have my sympathy. I remember the 8 or so hours of ‘fun’ I had after eating some hash. I can’t imagine what it would have been like to have the amount you had. I was on a flight from Calgary to Toronto for most of the trip, and it was trippy like acid for a few hours.
Results like these are extremely unusual. I’ve never even heard of anyone having a multi-day high from a single instance of consumption. 1/4 ounce of the best stuff is a lot to eat at one sitting but it’s not an unheard of amount. For curiosity’s sake, what did you use to smoke a 1/2 of hash with a long time ago in a jurisdiction far, far away? I imagine that was hell on your throat.
They’re different delivery methods for delivering the same drug. Smoking is more efficient. You need to eat more than you need to smoke to achieve the same amount of inebriation. The effects tend to last longer when it is eaten rather than smoked.
To answer the original question posed by the OP: Many cannabis consumers speak about reaching a “plateau” when they get high. They feel that there is a limit to how high they can get, and that consuming more cannabis after that is a waste. This tends to be more common among people who have developed a strong tolerance.
I can’t answer the OP definitively, but one questionnaire I deal with asks “how many times in a month do you smoke marijuana?”* The answers range from 1 to about 90. For analysis purposes, any response over 60 we set to 60 because, as one professor put it, “if you’re smoking more than twice a day, you’re just burning your stash.”
- I know, I know “how many times do you smoke” is a terrible question, I didn’t write, I just have to use it. What’s a “smoke?” One hit? One joint? If you smoke half a bowl before work, and then half after, is that one smoke or two?
Years.
I once ate a small piece, not knowing any better. For about an hour nothing happened. I was just thinking "Huh, that must have just been some sort of fa-Wham! It’s the middle of the night and the room is spinn-Wham! It’s midday and i have what i can only describe as a negative hangover.
