Tolerance
Build-up
develops over weeks of regular use via CB1 receptor downregulation
Reset
2–4 weeks for most users; heavy users may need longer
Tolerance Decay
Full tolerance
3d
Half tolerance
21d
Baseline

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
