How Tolerance Breaks Can Save You Money, Weed, and Get You Higher

Are you a cannabis lover who wants to spice up your relationship with your favorite plant? Do you feel like you need more and more weed to get the same high as before? Are you looking for ways to save some money, weed, or improve your health and well-being?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might want to consider taking a tolerance break (or T-break) from cannabis. A T-break is a deliberate, temporary cessation of cannabis consumption for the purpose of resetting your body's sensitivity to THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis that causes the "high" feeling. By taking a break from cannabis, you may be able to enjoy the benefits of cannabis more fully and experience some positive changes in your mood, sleep, appetite, and cognition.

But how do you take a T-break? How long should it last? How can you lower your cannabis tolerance without quitting completely? And what can you expect from cannabis withdrawal? In this blog, we will try to answer these questions and provide some tips and advice on how to take a T-break and why you might want to try it. We will also share some fun facts about cannabis that you probably didn't know. So sit back, relax, and get ready to learn something new.

How Long Should a T-Break Last?

The first question you may have is how long should a T-break last. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this question, as it may depend on several factors, such as how much and how often you use cannabis, how strong the cannabis is, your personal biology, and your goals.

Some online forums suggest that 2 weeks is the ideal time frame for a T-break, as it may be enough to significantly reduce your tolerance and make you feel the effects of cannabis more strongly when you resume consumption. However, some people may find that a few days or a month works better for them. You may have to experiment a bit to find what suits you best.

The frequency of taking a T-break may also vary depending on your preferences and needs. Some people may take a T-break once every few months, while others may take one every week or every day. Again, there is no right or wrong answer here, as long as you are comfortable with your choice and it helps you achieve your goals.

Fun fact: Did you know that cannabis goes back at least 12,000 years and was the first online sale? According to the book [Marihuana: The First Twelve Thousand Years] by E. L. Abel, cannabis is one of mankind's oldest crops. And in the early 1970s, Stanford students bought a bag of weed from MIT students using Arapnet (an early form of the Internet). That's pretty cool!

How to Lower Your Cannabis Tolerance

Taking a T-break is not the only way to lower your cannabis tolerance. You may also want to consider other strategies that can help you reduce the amount of THC in your system and make it more effective.

One strategy is to use cannabis products with a higher CBD-to-THC ratio. CBD is another compound in cannabis that has many health benefits and does not cause intoxication. CBD may also counteract some of the negative effects of THC, such as anxiety or paranoia. By using products with more CBD and less THC, you may be able to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without getting too high or building up too much tolerance.

Another strategy is to control your doses. This means using less cannabis per session or per day, or using methods that allow you to measure and track your consumption. For example, you can use a scale to weigh your flower or concentrate, or use a vaporizer or an app that tells you how much THC you are inhaling. By doing this, you can avoid overconsumption and keep your tolerance at a manageable level.

A third strategy is to use cannabis less often. This means reducing the frequency of your sessions or taking longer breaks between them. For example, you can limit yourself to using cannabis only on weekends, or only at night, or only once every few days. By doing this, you can give your body more time to clear out the THC and restore its sensitivity.

Fun fact: Did you know that not all weed gets you high? Some strains of cannabis have low or no THC content, such as hemp or CBD-rich varieties. These strains are often used for industrial purposes (such as making paper or clothing) or for medical purposes (such as treating pain or epilepsy). Hemp is also related to the word "canvas", as they both derive from the Latin word for hemp.

What to Expect from Cannabis Withdrawal

If you decide to take a T-break or lower your cannabis tolerance, you should also be aware of the potential withdrawal symptoms that may occur. Cannabis withdrawal is not as severe as withdrawal from other substances, such as alcohol or opioids, but it can still be uncomfortable and affect your well-being.

Some of the common withdrawal symptoms include mood swings, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, appetite changes, headaches, or cravings. These symptoms usually peak within the first week of abstinence and subside within 2 to 4 weeks. However, some people may experience more mild or severe symptoms depending on their level of dependence and other factors.

To cope with these symptoms, you may want to try some of the following tips:

• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help flush out the THC from your system and keep you hydrated.

• Exercise: Physical activity can boost your mood, energy, and sleep quality, as well as release endorphins, the natural painkillers and mood enhancers of your body.

• Meditate: Meditation can help you relax, reduce stress, and cope with negative emotions, as well as improve your focus and awareness.

• Seek support: Talking to your friends, family, or a professional can help you deal with the challenges of taking a T-break and provide you with emotional and practical support.

Fun fact: Did you know that Shakespeare and Bob Marley may have smoked cannabis? According to some evidence, marijuana residues were found in William Shakespeare's home, which we believe could have been an enormous aid in writing all the screenplays and poems. And Bob Marley was buried with his Bible, his guitar, and a bud of marijuana, which shows his devotion to his faith and his love for cannabis.

Taking a T-break is a personal choice that may have some benefits for your wallet, weed, and well-being. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to taking a T-break, as it may depend on your individual circumstances and goals. You may have to experiment a bit to find what works best for you and your cannabis experience.

If you decide to take a T-break or lower your cannabis tolerance, you should also be prepared for some possible withdrawal symptoms that may occur. These symptoms are usually mild and temporary, but they can still be unpleasant and affect your quality of life. Some of the withdrawal symptoms may include, but not limited to anxiety, irritability, anger or aggression, disturbed sleep/dreaming, depressed mood and loss of appetite. You may want to try some of the tips we mentioned above to cope with them and make your T-break easier.
