There are proteins in your body called enzymes. There are many enzymes in your body that breakdown drugs so your body can get rid of them. When you ingest more of a certain chemical over a period of time, your body makes more of the enzymes that are used to break them down. Since the chemical is being broken down more quickly, you need more of the compound to get the same effect.
