About this episode

Ryan discusses cannabis tolerance and strategies to maintain a meaningful high.

Cannabis and Tolerance- How to keep the high meaningful! On this week’s episode, Ryan dives into one of the most important (and most overlooked) aspects of long-term cannabis use: tolerance. Sharing his own current tolerance reset, Ryan breaks down what tolerance actually is, why it happens biologically (including CB1 receptor downregulation), and why frequency of use often matters more than total dose. He explores how stacking sessions, high-potency products, and wake-and-bake routines can quietly flatten dopamine response and dull the cannabis experience over time. Most importantly, he provides practical, realistic strategies to recalibrate…from delaying first use and capping bowl counts to incorporating CBD/CBG and structuring intentional sessions, all without quitting cannabis altogether. If your highs feel shorter, strains feel similar, or cannabis has shifted from enhancement to maintenance, this episode offers a thoughtful, science-backed roadmap to restore nuance, effectiveness, and that original magic.
