Tolerance

[Uncle Ron]

Then what's the difference between a cleaning out period of 30-45 days and a detection period of about 6 months, the 6 month detection period being what I gather being the period since last taking cannabis that it can still be detected in the blood?.

I know that's up to 6 months and can and will of cause involve different factors, but if there is still traces in the blood after months surely that to can affect the tolerance to a point?. Unless the about 45 days is more of a drop-off point where after the level in the blood makes no notable difference to tolerance.

Hey Dave J,
I'm not sure what 30-45 days and 6 months have to do with each other...?
As stated previously, in my experience the average person (meaning most people) will not test positive after 30 days, which to tie in to the topic is to say that if one doesn't test positive after 30 days or so, their system is clear of most if not all active cannabinoids. There is still so much to learn about this wonderful plant, but unfortunately ignorant people continue to teach their children to be ignorant; then these children grow into ignorant adults who have children; and the ignorance perpetuates. Way out in left field, about to come back....

Tolerance - to lower it, stop smoking for a few weeks during which you give your body (and mind) a good herbal cleansing. Not only will your body (and mind) feel much better, that first high/stone should be amazing. To keep it relatively low, only smoke a couple of times a week. Not only will your tolerance be maintained at a low level, you will save money as well, if that were an issue (tis for me).

Happy tolerating....

Now I'm counting the hours until I get into the Dam on Sunday morning, and thinking of how sweet it'll be when I drop my suitcase at the hotel and go out for that first smoke...

Fuck that. Greenhouse has nice wide doors. I've dragged my luggage straight there, passing our hotel (Renaissance) on the way.

30-45 days to clear itself of all active cannabinoids. Users with high body fat content, especially chronic users, may require longer periods because cannabinoids bind to fat cells.
My hypothesis isn't new or unproven, just that there are many skeptics.
Typically these same skeptics will try to sell you Gold Bond flushing material.

Happy trails...

My hypothesis is:
5 months of not smoking....followed by 10 day period, an average of 2-3g of cannabis containing roughly 10-15% THC is slowly consumed. The feeling of "tollerence" and consquently THC levels can drop within days of active adults.

5 months of smoking 2-3g every 15 days becomes chronic build up of active cannabinoid levels. If we know/accept that everything is relevant, then why would we accept this idea that a non smoker has this tolerence=active cannabinoid after just 10 short days of a few joints....takes time to build up...30-45 days....takes time to get rid of....30-45 days....

We need to discuss over joints! Ha! I'm telling you, I pissed clean! ....every 6 months! even after splitting my 2-knuckle afghani piece with friends.......that had to be a damn good 30% THC! Enjoyed that.....smooth on inhale....kinda harsh on exhale....normal for hash right?

Just realized something odd... at home about 95% of all strains and hashes I smoke are indica. No matter how hard I smoke my ass off at home, the sativas in Amsterdam hit me hard every time... shouldn't the strong indicas higher my tolerance up for sativas as well?

I think 95% of all hashes are Indica to begin with, well, not really but I figure it's got to be a lot. Just having a piss...
Indicas stone ya, Sativas soar ya...
From my limited growing experience, I do notice a higher amount of trichomes with Indicas. Also, the turn around time for Indicas is nearly half that of pure Sativas.
I could research this, but I'm too high a the moment...

Happy tolerating...

I just got back from the Dam and was there for 4 days. I hadn't smoked for months due to wanting to let my tolerance drain and when I got there I could barely smoke 3 grams over 4 days, it wouldn't have been so bad even if I was smoking before Amsterdam because their weed is so much stronger that it makes very little difference. On the 3rd day I could feel my tolerance was building up again.

I find when doing Dam after a break of months for the tolerance (or to save for the trip in my case) that "forcing" a good 3 grams down me on the first evening usually helps with the tolerance so that I can then do 5g+ per day. Yet I class myself as a light smoker who smokes very little at home but can build up a tolerance quite quickly when in Dam for some reason.

We are talking mid menu quality here from decent coffeeshops. So its either because in a big bigger at 6ft & 16st plus weight wise, or because I can walk round Dam like like a crazy bugger all day doing several miles easy or some other reason. But my notes from my last trip showed I bought and did at least 25 grams on a 4 night trip.
