What is Cannabis Tolerance?
The concept of tolerance can be seen in two ways. One way refers to how much you can tolerate before you become too high. Another way to look at tolerance describes someone’s ability to tolerate higher levels of consumption because of the extensive regular use of cannabis.
Your consumption level: To determine the level of effect that is most beneficial for you, we recommend that you start low and build up. This will help ensure that you get the most out of the therapeutic benefits that cannabis has to offer, without feeling too high. This can vary based on several factors. One important one is the type of consumption you choose. Different methods alter the onset time and intensity. It is important to realize that each person has their own tolerance level.
Your tolerance level: As with many substances that your chemical cycles get used to, the more you consume cannabis, the higher your tolerance level will be. If, however, you don’t consume cannabis for a while, or you are new to cannabis, your tolerance will be much lower, and the effects will be more profound.
Managing Your Dose
Your ideal dose depends on your tolerance level, which varies depending on how regularly or extensively you consume cannabis.
- When you consume cannabis, it can have different effects depending on how you do it. Smoking can give you almost immediate results, while edibles and tinctures can take much longer. But it’s important to start low and go slow because you don’t want to overdo it.
- You can include some CBD. This cannabinoid will help to counteract some of the psychoactive effects of THC, creating a more mellow and relaxing high.
- When trying edibles, err on the side of caution. Start with a lower dose and wait for at least two hours before consuming more. Everyone is different. You may have a fast metabolism but that doesn’t apply to cannabis edibles.
- The setting is more important when trying weed for the first time. Make sure you are somewhere comfortable, instead of around large groups of people like at a party or social gathering.
- We want to emphasize the importance of starting small. Give yourself enough time to feel the effects before consuming more.
Methods of Consuming Cannabis
Your method of consuming cannabis has a direct effect on how you absorb the THC into your bloodstream, the amount of time until you feel the effect, and how strong it is. The most common ways your body absorbs THC are as follows.
Through your lungs: Whether smoked, dabbed, or vaped, cannabis is most quickly absorbed through the lungs which also produces shorter-lived effects.
Through your liver: Edibles are processed through your digestive tract and cannabinoids enter the bloodstream through your liver. Although not nearly as immediate, they provide longer-lasting and more intense effects.
Through your mouth: A sublingual absorption (under the tongue) is a happy medium between smoking and edibles. Although not quite as quick as smoking, it is a great alternative to inhaling smoke or vapour.
Other Factors
The cannabinoids found in cannabis have been shown to interact with the receptors in your endocannabinoid system, they can help to stimulate and support your ECS. This can lead to a variety of potential benefits, such as helping to regulate pain, inflammation, mood, and energy levels.
As your endocannabinoid system changes over time, it is a good idea to keep tabs on how you feel after consuming cannabis so that you can adjust your dose accordingly.
Taken Too Much?
If you’re feeling paranoid, uncomfortable, or just too high, drink lots of water, find a comfortable place to relax for a while, eat some food, and just wait it out. The feeling will eventually pass, and you can put down the weed.
