i consume 2g a day right now. it's crippling me financially so it's either quit completely or 1 vape 0.2g a day.

any tips/advice? i may start using an ecig to keep my hands occupied.

Are you using it to address a medical issue? If not and you are using it recreationally and you continue to use it recreationally even though it is financially crippling you, it fits perfectly into my definition of addiction.

We all react a bit differently to how we withdraw from MJ and other substances, but for me, I've found that going cold turkey rather than tapering off works MUCH better. It may initially be harder, but the duration is MUCH shorter.

I'd quit completely for 3 to 4 weeks and then after that period, I'd evaluate how you feel for it is only then that you can make an educated determination if the risk of addiction is worth the reward.

Studies have said that the risk of MJ addiction is 12%, that is 12 people out of 100 can become addicted. It sounds like you may be part of that 12%.

The solo and small loads don't work for me. I too was going through 2-3 grams a day up until a month or so ago when I bought my vapman basic, for some reason it keeps me happy with much less herb so now I'm down to around 1- 1.5 grams a day if that much.

I find the ritual that comes along with using the vapman and torch keep my hands busy and mind occupied long enough to allow me to get what I need from the hits I've already taken and gets me as high as i want or need to be.

good luck to you @Ansel.

Speaking as a likely member of that 12%, I can say that I've managed to keep my habit at .25g a day for years, even while combusting, while being high (on 100% legal herbs :dog:) pretty much all day. I'd say the key is a full convection desktop ( preferably a log) and then a Solo for evening to finish off your ABV.

I generally use my FF during the morning (convection portable), then the Elevape SV while I'm away from home (convection portable), and then a Heat Island (convection log desktop) during the evening, and then a Solo with its semi-conduction to finish it all off - meaning, I save all my ABV from during the day, even when away from home, and turn it dark, dark brown with my Solo.

It's usually closer to .20 g than .25.

And make no mistake, I am NOTICEABLY medicated all day. So it can be done!

But I think @lwien 's advice is probably a lot more useful. :myday: I'm not advocating addiction or anything, but... if you're simply going to keep at it like I do, then just keep in mind that it is possible.

Plus, I augment with alcohol during the evenings. And also, during the day. YMMV. :cheers:

Solo is not so efficient.
Any vape can be efficient if you use it with that purpose in mind. It's not as if you're doomed to use a lot just because a model has a big bowl and encourages big hits. It's just easier when the bowl is small and huge lung busting hits aren't possible. I certainly wouldn't prefer to use a big hitter if I were trying to decrease my tolerance though. Small hits, with pauses to allow the effect to register, is the way to go. A break for lowering tolerance has never been necessary for me, but if that's what it takes ....

For good stuff I can pay $280 per ounce.. I consider cutting down constantly, and will often go 1+ week without vaping.
1 vape a day at the right time is often enough, I find that around 4-5pm is a good time to get high :)
And one before bed if you can't sleep!
Good luck dude, im having a tolerance break starting tomorrow so we will cut down together!

it has been noted that marijuana can stimulate paranoia....

its a wonderful built in safety mechanism really... if you consume enough to reach unpleasant heights your not likely to do it twice intentionally!...

I once drank an entire vial (effectively 2 or 3 grams active thc resin sudpended in ethanol) thinking I had a high 10g a week tolerance.... yea you can strait have visual hallucinations if you ingest enough. it was a 4 hour couch locked trip followed by a gigantic munch session and a 12 hour nap!


I could go for one of those actually... lol

rofl what? I vape a bowl pretty much every hour at least, and smoke a bowl or two every day and on average am consuming less than 1.2 grams a day. Usually around .8 when not smoking.

2 grams is a lot when vaping. You must pack huge bowls.

Agreed. 2 Grams is A LOT. Try something like the HEBE Titan 2 (In my signature) - You get full control of temp and consequently a lot more control over extraction of thc allowing yourself to better pace your usage.

2 grams for a day for medical reasons ain't really much at all IMO.

I know I for one can still easily vape an 1/8 oz a day (and be better off for it physically) if I let myself, since my daily vape session actually starts with my first cup of coffee and ends 14-16 hours later.

the only thing that keeps Me using less is the cost.

I haven't even been waiting for coffee lately lol, but will be going on my cyclical t-break soon so things will be changing. I've noticed my one-hits have been in the .12-.15g range, so 1g a day is something to strive for but easy to surpass. I agree that 2g a day is easy if the supply is there (and the lungs are willing).

If you want to lower dosage, you need to review how much you really need to medicate. If you could limit yourself, what would you like it to be at? If you want to do .3 a day you gotta focus on your sessions and amount of herb used. You need to last your supply for a month. I used to use SO much with the Volcano. I honestly think you need to find your favorite vaporizer(s) to switch from. I sold my Volcano and bought the OG Sub to get the most in quick hits. What I like to do is have options to bounce around from. I switch from flowers to concentrates as well. I have been using my Sublimator for a year now and it has done a terrific job. I also use a domeless nail on the side for those snapper dabs early morning. I also assume you might start to realize that when you really need to medicate you would wait a little longer. Kinda like being lazy but in a way you want to conserve. I guess it works when you add other activities in the mix but overtime you'll realize you can control your tolerance better. Financially, you should progress to save by budgeting your quads for 70 max of TOP Shelf or get halfies for a bill and splurge when you decide it has been a while. Good luck man it's a part of life we all learn self-control differently though but I hope you get the encouragement. You can do it. I did and I was in your position like many others as well. Vaporizing has changed that for me tremendously.

I like how you broke that down.
My vaping habbits have changed dramatically in the last week or two. I have never liked the 'cloudiness' in the morning after a night of vaping, and I hated having 2 or 3 days where I was aware that SOMETHING was slightly different in my level of activity. Usually after a week of over-vaping I felt the effect of it's sluggishness for longer than I needed to..
Now I vape much less, usually hitting the vape only once or twice in the middle of the day. Mornings I have VERY little (if any at all..!) and at night time I only vape once or twice a week.
Much less is so much better. I feel normal, and can always count on myself to use it responsibly. I know my doses now, I have trained myself to be patient and appreciate the moments where I can't vape (like weekends with the family, or full weeks of work) and it's at a healthy level now. I know that if I had 2-3 days of heavy vaping that it would be okay now as well because I know how to put time aside for leisure and relaxation but also get shit done! I have worked my way up to intense workouts while vaped, and I also enjoy maintaning / cleaning the house while high. I keep a list of things that need to be done and I tackle them after I have a nice vape.. just small things, but goals none the less! I hate getting high and feeling lazy or unacomplished!

Life is on the up & up just from slightly reducing my THC intake which is amazing.
Less than 1 gram a week now, efficiently roasted in my EQ :)
edit; sorr about the spelling mistakes im high as fuck.

If everyone could find and do oils and such @CG420 or even have a choice of buds it would be easier to find a weight dose for most of us. But since i have to buy a months worth of whatever decent bud is available the amount i need to medicate daily changes from month to month. I take it that's how it is for most of us out here that aren't in a legal mmj state or country.

It's only a sweet dream here to be able to buy herb and know things like thc percentages and all, but with no valid name and no strain info most of the time it's a crapshoot.

:peace:
