t-breaks are a great way to reset the body and reawaken those feelings experienced when a person first started using cannabis.
for regular weed users, the plant’s effects can change and weaken over time, meaning more and more cannabis is needed to feel the same effects. that may be the time a person could benefit from a t-break.
the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder” can certainly be applied to a tolerance break. but what if a t-break doesn’t work as intended and the user still needs the same amount of product to feel its effects?
if that’s the case, it’s likely time to rethink the way a t-break is taken.
one of the most important components of a quality tolerance break is time. marijuana may leave the blood in less than a day, but it takes much longer to reset receptors in the body that react to thc.

“research states that brain receptors called cannabinoid 1 receptors start to return to normal after two days without marijuana, and they regain normal functioning within four weeks,” according to medical news today.

if a break does not lower tolerance or restore the feelings enjoyed when trying the plant for the first time, try taking a longer one.

according to webmd, cannabis breaks should last for at least 21 days. try to hold out for three weeks without thc to achieve a reset, especially if previous t-breaks were brief.

a three-week break is often easier said than done. according to u.s. news, 49 per cent of u.s. adults polled have tried marijuana. although some of these users fall under the experimental or occasional smoker category, many cannabis users partake regularly.

for some, marijuana is prescribed medication; for others, it is supplemental or unprescribed medication.
quitting cold turkey can be difficult or even mentally worrisome. one way to ensure a smooth and healthy transition away from thc is finding a suitable replacement. cbd is a logical alternative, but it’s necessary to purchase the right type and strength.
cbd does not have hallucinogenic properties, but if it’s ingested the same way as thc would be ingested, it may be possible to trick the body, or at least the mind.
if a person smokes marijuana, he or she may want to try a smokable cbd product. whatever products are going to be used, make sure they are at-hand before starting the t-break to avoid slipping up should a craving rear its head.
the amount of time allowed for a t-break is important, but so, too, is how a person spends that time away from thc.
spent the last t-break sitting around bored and snacking? this is not the best way to reset a body’s system.

try treating this time apart from weed as a detox or cleanse for the body and mind. taking up an activity, especially a physically active hobby, can enhance the results of the thc break.

according to healthline, “exercise and fresh air can help you feel alert and reduce any slumps in your mood.”

signing up for an exercise class or creating a workout schedule are both effective ways to help form this habit while away from thc. as with all aspects of these breaks, preparation and organization are great ways for people to stay on track and hold themselves accountable.
