Today in Jon's Daily Sesh - Let's take a look at cannabis tolerance, and why it might be beneficial... Tolerance – the body's natural ability to become accustomed to any drug or experience. Because I’ve been smoking the herb for many years, my body has developed a strong tolerance to cannabis. I have to take a few more hits than the average smoker to get that delightful stoned feeling. That’s cannabis tolerance in action. In your brain you have CB1 receptors and they love THC, but only up to a point. Your body naturally produces cannabinoids, including THC, and these receptors are one of your brain’s ways of making use of that natural goodness. Smoking the herb bombards the receptors with large doses of THC, and after a few days of regular use these receptors get filled up to the point that they just won’t take in any more THC. This is all a natural process – the way the system is built. In spite of this being a natural process, I’ve read many articles over the years about marijuana tolerance, and they often treat it like this is a problem. Well, I don’t consider it a problem, so today I’d like to take a different approach and tell you why I believe tolerance is a useful and helpful thing.
