Does anyone ever FAST?

[ed the head]

Leading up to my last trip to Amsterdam in February, I used a lot of cannabis, thinking it best to build my immunity so I could fully enjoy the bounty.

I had a great time, and have been smoking like a chimney since I got back.

Last week, at the end of my last ounce, I noticed I must have built up too much immunity. After work I could smoke 4-5 joints and still not feel really 'high', at least not for very long.

So I decided to go on a cannabis 'fast'. I know from having to pass piss tests in the past that your system is clear after 30 days I am only 4 days in now and I miss it terribly

I am curious ifmy fellow ACD members ever fast voluntarily.

A what?? Thats crazy talk my man, very rarely do I go off, usually just before a trip to Amsterdam so I can get fooked.

I do fast from the weed... I've been smoking since 1990 and that 's kinda running 19 years now. I'm only 34 yrs of age.

In my time of toking - I have fasted from the smoke a total of 19 times...

It kinda helps when you give up for a month every year - just to get your tolerance re-corrected, let's face it - weed is not cheap.

The month away from weed not only helps my tolerance to become lower, but also leaves my pocket a lil fat...

It's a good idea if you can do it. Note this though - I once didint smoke weed for a year and 4 months - and it wasnt bad at all. After the first 5 or 6 days, you just re-adjust...

Next time I plan on giving myself time off is September this year.

I read that with nicotine, the actual dependency is over in 48 hours.

I have. Longest 2 hours of my life!

Actually, I just finished a 3.5 week hiatus to pass a test. My tolerance has gone way down, which is nice.

I don't think so. In terms of addicitivity (if that is such a word) nicoteine ranks right up there with heroin. That is why it is so hard to stop smoking cigarettes.

Cannabis, on the other hand, can have, merely, a psychological potential dependence. Although some level of tolerance can build up, it is nothing compared to alcohol, ciggies, coke, caffeine, or other substances.

I started smoking grass when I was 12 years old. I smoked heavily for about 10 years and then quit abruptly with no effects whatsoever. I didn't take any drugs at all and I drank very little booze for the next 16 to 18 years. (I got very heavily into weightlifting and boxing and I lost all interest in getting high.)

Then a few years back, I decided to once again partake in the ganja. I got high, but I did NOT think that I got particulaly high given my long abstinance from cannabis.

While I no longer have the desire to go out with my buddies and drink and toke till I am completely mashed, I think that has more to do with the fact that it gets old real quick and, as an adult, I now have real responsibilities.

i dont FAST per se, but i do find that after a trip to dam i dont want to have a joint for the next day or so whe i return...

i smoke so much in the 2 or 3 day trips to dam i take (not as much as ome but so much for me), that i feel like i need a break day or two after when i return. guess i give my self a little detox.

same if i have been out to a rave or other, and am coming down. if i smoked a lot at the tparty/rave i dont like to have a joint during my comedown the next day.

alcohol is a different thing though, a can of beer from the fridge takes the edge off a hangeover so well in the morning, a joint after a nights smoking doesnt for me.
