I decided that I my tolerance has gotten too expensive, so I let my stash run out instead of getting a reup. Yesterday was glorious, I finished my stash in a blaze of glory. 3.75 joints was all I had left in my stash anyway. I figured that starting my T break at the start of the work week would make it easier, but I was wrong. Tonight sucked.

Y’all are desperate. This is stoner shit. If you’re doing this it’s addict behavior.

The analysis produced three broad themes: lay understanding of tolerance; tolerating tolerance; and rapid tolerance development following relapse. Tolerance was defined as the body adapting to regular drug use, so that the drug no longer produced the same level of effect. Tolerance was experienced as interacting and co-developing with physical dependence and the symptoms of withdrawal. Indeed, several participants did not differentiate between tolerance and dependence. Most participants did not notice tolerance to respiratory depression. Tolerance levels fluctuated—increasing over periods of regular use and reducing when abstinent. Using more drug was the most common response to increasing tolerance to the desired effects. On re-use following abstinence, tolerance was experienced as developing more quickly in the most recent relapse compared to the first. Tolerance was also perceived to return more quickly with each abstinence-relapse cycle.

TLDR take 3 was off for a day of extra high and your tolerance will build up quicker each time you take a break.

Addict behavior an as usual the weed community hand waving it away.

    Hey man, I don't listen to caffeine tweakers okay? You can't put the coffee down and expect me to believe you aren't some junkie. /s

    People only seem to want to shame stoners for this shit, which is why I picked caffeine to point out not only the hypocrisy but to show just how absurd the argument is in the first place. Caffeine has stronger withdrawal symptoms but we're all okay with it. 🤷‍♀️

    I'm not here to claim that weed has no side effects. I believe it is mildly addictive. I also believe it's about as benign or safe to consume as caffeine is. I also believe it's generally easier to stop using it than caffeine is. This ire towards stoners reeks of DARE.
