As you can tell I'm new to the forums, I've been lurking for a month or two. Great community, I must say.

Anyway, on to my question. I've been smoking for about 6 months. I've kept it to about once a week (probably a tad less). I'm obviously still completely new to the whole deal, so I've been getting legitimately stoned off of relatively nothing at all. I would like it to stay this way for quite a while.

So, If I keep my habit of smoking to once a week or just a few times a week, will my tolerance stay pretty low every time I smoke, or will it build up over time?
Thanks.

The more you smoke, the more tolerance builds. If you want to get ridiculously stoned every time you smoke, then keep it at once/twice a week or less.

Tolerance builds up most when people smoke daily or many times a day. If you keep it to once a week you should not notice very much tolerance. You will notice a bit of tolerance, but not very much.

Your tolerance is gonna increase, albeit very very slowly, just don't toke everyday and you'll be cool.

Yah I smoke everyday and i noticed i have to smoke alot more to get high since i started. I was dry for a couple of weeks and smoked last night and got really stoned so it seems that your tolerances gos down if you just wait for it.

I can usually take a 2-5 day break and my tolerance is back to zero. I normally do that once a month to keep it in-check.

Take a break and flush your system by drinking fluids and working out. You have to work the THC out of your system and the next time you rip will be one hell of an experience.

If you smoke only once a week, your CB1 receptors, the ones that react to THC, have time to recover fully. They begin to shut down when flooded with too much THC in order to maintain your body's homeostasis. When you refrain from adding any more THC to your system, they gradually come back online.

Tolerance has nothing to do with the levels of THC metabolites in your system. That's an imprtant factor in passing a drug test but has no effect on tolerance. "Flushing" your system won't make any difference.

I vape a little on a daily basis and have managed to keep my tolerance pretty low by keeping the amount low and doing it only once a day (except on special occasions). Moderation (not too much, not too frequently) is the key. You can't expect to get your socks blown off every day and maintain a low tolerance.

I'm not looking for an extreme experience, as I did when I was a beginner. Back then it was, "Let's see how high I can get!". Now I know how high I can get and that state isn't very appealing. It's more akin to brain damage (figuratively) than having fun.
