Yeah unfortunately I'm the same way. Have tried several CBD things and not one of them do anything for me unless I go max dose, and even then it's an incredibly mild effect. THC takes nearly nothing though, 15mg is enough for a very strong high. I have friends where the complete opposite is true and I would love to trade them.

I would love to trade them.

Having a low tolerance is great for your wallet!

Oh it absolutely is, and I've got a low tolerance for alcohol too, which is pretty nice. I just wish that if I had to choose which of THC and CBD I had a low tolerance for, it'd be CBD.

Damn you're so lucky; I have a naturally high tolerance to everything. Even if it's my first time trying a substance, I usually need double the recommended starter dose to even feel anything. It definitely hasn't been great on my wallet.

Damn that's rough and sounds expensive!

It's funny, the first few times I smoked a joint with a friend, it barely did anything at all to me. Never had any more for many years, and the next time I was completely couch locked and was hallucinating while watching TV. Either my tolerance changed drastically or my friend's weed was weak as hell.
