Summary
Cannabis (also known as THC, marijuana, weed, pot, grass, hemp, and many others) is a preparation of the cannabis plant that produces psychoactive effects when consumed (via smoking, vaporizing, or ingestion). It is the most used illicit substance in the world. The mechanism of action is binding activity at cannabinoid receptors distributed throughout the body.

Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
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.
Estimates extrapolated from general cannabinoid use patterns and user reports; formal human CBG tolerance data are lacking.
