    I ask this because some people can smoke about ten blunts and still be able to walk and some people can smoke a bowl and be immobilized. I know body weight has something to do with it but its not everything. Its as if some people are genetically predisposed to it and they handle it better on a physical and mental standpoint.

    Also some people get extremely nervous and paranoid when they get high as others tend to not worry about a thing. Some people get so bad while high they start bugging out and claim they are dying. Why are some people more fit to smoke pot then others.

    I can get thoroughly stoned from one bowl to myself. That's not to say I can't handle it, but that I am just blessed with a naturally low tolerance. I'll be stoned from a bowl or two, but will continue to smoke until I start drooling on myself.

    1; its not for everyone
    2; tollerence, the more u smoke the more it takes to get real high, i preffer to smoke less, enjoy more (cheaper that way too)
    3; some people have non typical reactions
    4;different strains have different strengths

    as ya can see theres alotta factors..also different peoples minds are chemicaly difgferent so are affected differently

    body weight has very little to do with anything

    Basically what he said, I remember back in the day when me and my friend were smoking several times a day, it would take 2 bowls of really dank stuff to get us high, now one bowl between 3 people will get us pretty high, ah the wonder of low tollerance. And as a drug, there are just some people who don't react good to it.

    i find body weight makes a difference in the time it takes to get rid of the thc metabolites in your body. and while the metablites aren't the same as thc, i find they affect the high you have.

    this i conclude from thc and it's metabolites being stored in the fat.

    also, most of my skinny friends that smoke get waaay high.

    i go through phases of weight, where i'll be real fit for a couple months and then i'll go upto 15+ pounds extra and keep it for a couple months. and i notice that the times when i'm more active, and less fat ...that i get more high then when i am fatter.

    i know there are a lot of factors, but i do think, in general, the less fat one has, the more high they'll get..especially for chronic users

    when your more fat arent ya doin lessand smokin more therby increasin your tollerence?
    ya may attributee it to weight, but couldnt it very well be activity levels being lower, thereby (most ppl) being bored and smoking more driving up tollerence?

    cuz some poeple cant handle it and dont have any control over their own minds, thats usuaully the problem. ya gotta be able to be the master of your mind, and not let ridiculous, unrealistic worries seem like actual threats.
    i dont think wegiht really has that much to do with it, but Im not scientist. I man, i am a skinny guy, and I do get high pretty easily...but I also have afriend who is sorta chubby but he gets high just as well, i think. i duno. who cares. haha

    Yeah, one of my friends, when he gets high goes completely insane. Not in a bad way but it's like he's tripping hard. It's kind of funny to watch.

    When my friend gets high he awlays tells me how he "talks to god" and how he just gets retarded.

    Im not like that , i just enjoy it and go with the flow. I love listening to music when im stoned or just enjoying the nature around me.

    it doesnt matter about experience or not.

    because you can be so experience, and stop for a month, hit some dank ass weed and get high off of 2 bowls

    it just depends on how much you smoke
    and quality

    today i know i smoked over 15 bowls and barely even got high all while drinking 3 cups of some german beer. it was reg weed though

    yesterday i smoked 3 blunts of crippy, and i was higher then i have been in a while
    like completely stoned, where i couldnt control my movement and i just had to keep moving my legs.

    so yeah it depends on quality and how much you smoke

    ahhh u beat me to it

    but the state of mind has everything to do with how stoned you get/how you act when stoned.
