How long do you hold the smoke in your lungs? Does it change depending on what sort of mechanism for smoking you use? Do you believe in the old adage, "if you don't cough, you don't get off"? Tell me about your breathing habits when smoking.

I think the only thing we can do to regulate our tolerance outside of taking a break at this stage is to wait as long into the day as you can before you start. I usually try and wait at least 2 hours after I wake up.

Concentrates can significantly raise your tolerance as well, so I'll tend to prioritize vaping and using concentrates when I need a reset/heavier oain management. Since vaping is more full spectrum it can help get you CBD compounds which can help when you feel like you're not getting stoned.

Unfortunately outside of waiting longer into the day or taking a break entirely this is about all I've got lol. But I've got over a decade of daily use coming along and I still get pretty stoned :)

Thanks for the response ! Makes sense. Some days I definitely try to hold off on smoking until after I finish work for the day but some days I just need it early lol. I also try and go back and forth between volcano and dabs but it has been a while since I really used my volcano. Maybe it’s time to bust it out again and go pick up some flower.

Sadly I am allergic to some flower. Touching it I can really break out so I need to wear gloves or have my girlfriend grind and pack it for me.

Yeah I think I’ve been smoking for about 15 years now. Sometimes I get high. Sometimes I just get the medicinal benefits and feel better but still sober. Always looking for ways to change it up!

That's so interesting, I wonder what your allergy to it is? Do you think it's akin to a grass allergy or something? It's fascinating that you're still able to ingest it!

My friend and girlfriend think it could actually be pesticides or something. It's really hit or miss if I react or not, and it's always to touching not ingesting. My friend grows his own and his never gets my allergies going. My girlfriends favorite dispensary also doesn't trigger me. Though other dispensaries where we got some "cheaper" weed my allergies get bad. It's also not just weed, I used to think I was allergic to apples but my allergy test confirmed ts not the apples. Still unsure what exactly it is though. Heck even going to an apple orchard even causes my hives to trigger.

That's so crazy, but I'd be inclined to agree with them. Pesticides would make sense given the inconsistency.

Well good luck to you, that's just another reason for us to keep pushing for legalization!
