![]() As someone who medicates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, taking a few weeks off was no small task. ![]() If you consider cannabis to be your medicine, taking a break can be even harder. If you’re a daily cannabis consumer, tolerance breaks are hard. Two months later, I’m still taking random THC-free “tolerance days” whenever I notice my threshold for pot increasing. When an entire bag of gummies wasn’t enough to catch a buzz, I knew it was time for a break. I don’t consider my relationship with cannabis unhealthy - rather, my tolerance had gotten far too high, and I was unable to enjoy all of the fantastic products like tinctures, edibles, and drinkables that roll in around 10mg THC. A very casual drinker, I took to mixing cocktails after work instead of packing a bowl. Yet at the start of this year, I did the exact opposite: I cut out THC. For others, including some recovering addicts, pot is a safe release valve, a drug they can turn to without fear of backsliding into blackouts and poor decision making. For some it may simply be a way to cut out empty calories and eliminate hangovers from their lives. As readers of this publication are likely aware - especially those who read Peter Astrid-Kane’s recent cover story on the lifestyle - going “California Sober” means giving up alcohol, but allowing room for the intentional consumption of cannabis and other psychedelics.
