You’re body as adapting and becoming better and either functioning normally with it in your system, or becoming better and processing and getting it out of your system quicker. Your body has multiple ways of getting drugs out of the body, but it is primarily either filters out by your kidneys, or broken down by your liver.

This is called building a tolerance.

Your body builds more receptors for the drug so that more drug molecules can fit in your system without producing a response.
