Just what it sound like. The more you smoke or start smoking something much stronger(dabs), the more you tolerate it, and the more it takes. You have to take breaks once in a while.
Is this issue of tolerance one of the reasons many people refer to marijuana as a 'gateway' drug? After a while, a user might move up to a harder (stronger) illegal substance in order to get his 'high'?
I'm not saying every mj user eventually does that or even that a majority will do it. In fact, most don't. But it does happen for a statistically significant number of users, right?

Weed is not really like that. You're not sitting around, shivering, waiting for your next 'fix' like a junkie. I don't buy the gateway drug theory. Most crackheads have also drank, smoked cigs, and probably huffed shite. The type of person who becomes a crackhead had some underlying issues already. Relatively few pot smokers move on to hard drugs.

I never took it as a tolerance issue. I always thought it as a gateway drug, because some people had the attitude of "Well I tried one illegal drug, why not try another?"
The gateway drug narrative has declined in recent years IMO since it's more widely accepted.
