    I've been smoking everyday for the past 3 weeks. I think my tolerance is way high. I smoked 2 big bowls og high mids the other day and felt a slight buzz... Now heres my question. theres a party in 3 days that im going to go to, and smoke alot at. If i stop smoking for those 3 days, will it lower my tolerance at all? or should i smoke however much i want until then, and take my break to lower my toelrance afterwards?

    could use be realy shitty weed or your smoking less and not even realizing it,i smoked everyday for like a month then i smoked two bowls with my firend same weed as i had at home i got high but no realy that high,then the next night i smoked oned bowl of the same weed out of my bong and got realy realy stoned,i noticed when i smoked with my firend my hits were alot smaller also the bowl i smoked out of with him was smaller,but i dont think smoking for three weeks would build your tolerance that fast

    Hmm... i've noticed that tolerance is more of a exponential thing, i mean that say you have a tolerance of 1, and it has a half-life of one day, then by the next day your tolerance would be 1/2, then 1/4 then 1/8 and so on.
    I've heard that weed can be detected in urine for almost a month if the person was a consistently heavy smoker, but in my experience it's more like two weeks.
    So, if you give yourself a three-day break, then your tolerance will be dramatically lower.

    Does smoking weed once a week, every week, build a tolerance?

    some observations i've made regarding tolerance since i first started smoking, some of which are painfully obvious:

    1. the longer you smoke on end, the more of a tolerance you have
    2. if you have a high tolerance and stop for even just a couple days, the tolerance will have decreased significantly when you smoke again
    3. the higher your tolerance was when you quit for a short period, the quicker you'll regain it
    4. the longer a break you take, the slower you are to regain your tolerance
    5. if you have pot sitting around, it's harder to take a break than you'd think if you're a daily smoker
    6. sometimes all it takes is switching what kind of weed you're smoking. not even necessarily quality, but who you get it from makes a difference. smoking two different types of pot of the same general potency can often get you two different kinds of highs. if you aren't used to some particular pot, sometimes it feels stronger because of that


    i'd suggest not smoking for the next couple days if you can manage that. if you're a heavy smoker, you should notice a difference. if you only smoke once a day or less, you won't notice THAT big of an increase.
