I might not be in the majority but I prefer a high tolerance, and my tolerance is no higher at any point in the year than it is in late July/ early August. I'm off work and I'm blazing as much as I can. Once I go back to work, I get busy and can't keep up, and really notice my tolerance falling off.
I find when you have a lower tolerance, you just can't handle consuming as much, you can't distinguish quality among the highest quality of bud as well. I've probably blazed at least an 8th today, and have enjoyed every bit of it.
