A 21-day Interactive Guide to help Lower Your Cannabis Tolerance and Re-Establish Balance.
What is a “T-Break”?
Any time we engage in an activity regularly, we become accustomed to how that behavior feels in our bodies, and it takes more and more to feel “something”. We see this all the time in everyday life. As an example, if you jog for a mile every day, you’ll probably stop feeling fatigued by running that same distance after a while, and it may take you three or four miles to really build up a sweat. This is because your body has built up a tolerance for running that mile.
The same principle applies with cannabis use. If you use cannabis regularly, your body builds up a tolerance, and as a result, needs more and more cannabis to experience the same effects. This has multiple implications on your wellness (and your wallet), so if you use cannabis, it’s a good idea to take a tolerance break, or T-Break, every once in a while
During a T-Break, you stop using cannabis for a designated period of time to help restore balance in your body and lower your cannabis tolerance. The recommended period of time to reduce your tolerance effectively is 21 days - which for some folks, may feel like a long time to go without using.
