This is such an interesting topic. I'm sure lots of folks can probably relate to what I'm about to say. I'm definitely a pot connoseur or what have you, but much like an Alcoholic, I don't think I spend enough time enjoying each glass of Merlot, as I'm already so thirsty for obliterated drunkenness after imbibing Alcohol, that I couldn't begin to comment on the subtle qualities of that first glass.
Now, Cannabis is different. I like to think it's probably more like being a food critic. How do you objectively criticize food knowing that with each bite, your appetite willl be more sated and by definition, your appetite will become less... ravenous. We all know how delicious a piece of stale bread tastes after days of starvation, to that affect, how delicious a glass of tap water is after a long work out, the subtle notes of iron, metals and flouride as they dance on your tongue are divine, right?
I have always imagined that, if my tolerance for Cannabis was zero, every time I took a toke off some new bud, it would be different. However, my life has been more or less about daily, fairly regular smoking in which my tolerance is kind of at a base line. I could never have the same ability to critique weed as I sit here today with a large tolerance. I'm capable of saying "this bud is better for sleep, probably" or "this bud makes movies better" and so on, but to note some of the extreme subtleties I hear rattled off by true connoseurs, I don't think I would have that ability.
I've actually thought of this many times. How different it would all be if every time I smoked was like my first time smoking, with no tolerance. One of the very first times I got high and enjoyed it, I just smoked some mids with my homie and we watched 28 days later and it was fucking crazy. Standing here, ready to take a dab of 80% thc or whatever the fuck and knowing I'm just gonna keep working like nothing, well, it's a crazy thought.
