Can you Press the Pause Button on your Cannabis use?
If you consume Cannabis products more than 3 X per week, this is a question you should have an answer for. Consider a T-Break. For confidential support and assistance on a T-Break -Plan of Action; contact the Rowan Wellness Center @ 856-256-4333 or email logan@rowan.edu.
Time for a Tolerance Break?
If you use cannabis, at some point, you should take a tolerance break.
Like anything else, your body builds up a tolerance: you need more to get high. A T-Break could help you save money and also keep balance. The hard news is that if you partake most days, a true T-Break should be at least 21 days long, since it takes around three weeks or more for THC to leave your system. (That’s because THC bonds to fat, which is stored in the body longer.)
This guide was created because people would set out to take a T-Break, they only lasted a few days. Sometimes they felt ashamed because it was harder than they thought. There is no need to feel bad……but it can be hard to take a break. People usually find some aspect of getting high beneficial. Cannabis causes fewer harms than some other drugs and creates less cravings. For those very reasons, ironically, some people find it challenging to find a balance with cannabis: they might think that cannabis has no harms and no cravings. Everything has pros and cons. And cannabis, like a lot of things, can create dependency.
A T-Break is a good time to re-evaluate balance. If you want to stop completely, just continue the T-Break. Others may return to cannabis and can use this as a support.
