It is well known that individuals who use high doses of cannabis for a long period of time will develop tolerance to THC. To overcome tolerance to THC, there are two choices - use more THC or take a THC break, also known as a T- Break. Numerous online forums suggest varying ways to manage a T-Break; a recent Internet search resulted in over 36 million hits on how to reduce THC tolerance.
The problem with these online T-Break guides, however, is that none of them are empirically based, meaning that there is currently no evidence to support the methods suggested online. In this episode of Cannabis Nurse Truths, we consider the data related to cannabis tolerance and how numerous factors may interfere with your T-Break.
