If you're talking about a gradual buildup, it's just tolerance. But if you're talking about the first time using, remember that everybody's physiology is different: weight, natural chemical balance, and the # of different receptors on the brain vary from person to person, and all effect the body's reaction to drugs. A small few people are even immune to the effect of certain drugs.
