Waiting for winter
I'm so overdue for a canna-break, but it's biking season, and I have not one, but two new bikes to ride the shit out of before winter.

Of course when winter comes, I'll be vaping every ski day, so that's not looking good either. :shrug:

Every time Ive planned for a break ive given myself like a rush type feeling thinking what might I do in the meantime..then I vape all of what i have left and start getting fed up with boredom on the second day of detox and start making plans to get some weed by he third day. I'm hooked, not addicted. When I smoked I would use a lot more but less often. I once went like month and a half without just to pass a test but I spent that time sampling synthetics which I wouldn't suggest doing at all so I turned to liquor and nicotine for a couple weeks..the thought of all that makes me want to vomit I think but I suppose it's valuable enough experience for my era
It sounds like you're sugar coating it by calling it being "hooked" vs addicted, when they are the same thing. Not being able to resist the temptation to get more weed is indicative of addiction, as is spending the one time away from weed, getting buzzed on other things.

Withdrawal symptoms are what you're looking to call that, which it isn't. I made an educated move to alcohol and tobacco which are harder drugs but not indicatively..I settled..I didn't breakdown and fail the test..so how smart does that sound?

Again...whether or not you want to admit it, the following behaviors are indicative of addiction:
-seeking out the addictive substance
-trying to take a break and caving
-addiction replacement

Making an "educated move to alcohol"... How smart does that sound? Not very. It sounds like another way to sugar coat addiction replacement.

I apologise for making you hit yourself. I wouldn't want any point deductions and my post flagged again, but we've arrived at an impasse not so much as a brick wall. What warrants being called addiction?... "Its Friday. U [c]ain't got no job. [So] u ain't got shit [else] to do.."

a self realized, self medicated being would be the most content in and of themselves needing the least from others... could seem greedy but you can only truly know YOU so no greed at all man.. the better you know YOU the better everyone is for IT! just sayin, stay comfortable in your skin man and don't fret!

U might not get my pov. I've heard ppl try and promote living off of the land who just so happened to use crack and/or not own a car or four walls and a roof or you could catch them wiping spit on their sleeves, socks, ppls carpet, crevices of couches, or spitting in the middle of the garage(cause fuck the garage,right.?)...What I'm saying is the ppl who suggest you live off of the land and being true to yourself are some of the specific reasons you can't trust nice things to the public..maybe off topic but has anybody else met ppl who wipe spit on themselves. I've only experienced two and one told me it was because they feel that swallowing the (their own) spit is nasty...I wanted to commit a murder when they said it

as long as they are wiping on them themselves and not other people it's all good... someone i know who meditates actually almost drowns in Spit! they cannot stop it from happening and just sit there dry swallowing... it's not conducive to the best mediation LOL

ok. back on topic- peace

Folks get around..handshakes etc..nothing's at all good..u just saw me say carpets and couch crevices that they DO not own..Just as intrusive as calling me an addict for using an illegal substance. Those ppl have opinions and the tell them to ppl who don't know they're spit wipers.

I cannot judge anyone... when alone i do things that only appeal to myself...But, we all bump off each other too man and we are mostly liquid so expect it to get a round, lol... cool saying= water created humans and creatures as a means to travel upright :)

Is anyone on a break, at the moment?

Trying ... without success. I went a little nuts in Colorado with concentrates, realizing this I decided to take a break but last night experienced terrible anxiety and the feeling like ants were crawling all over my skin... vaped a small bowl and was able to sleep (sort of) but ugh it's gonna be a long break for me :(

BUT in the past I've taken breaks over a month long and it's worth it. Cold turkey isn't working this time so I'm just gonna try and ween myself off, definitely focused on a long break this time (I think, in the end, I'm anti-concentrates ... I don't think weed was meant to be consumed this way)

If I use concentrates very often my tolerance goes up. Going down in cannabis amounts gradually is smart, then the beginning of your break doesn't feel so drastic.

This is why I don't buy into the "no withdrawals" nonsense people like to say. Sure, they aren't as bad as withdrawals from many other drugs, but they do exist.

I'm curious if going on a break without much of a tolerance, would help mitigate these symptoms.

Hello guys, I feel I have to give you a little update since I wrote last time a couple of months ago.
In mid July I broke my ankle because of a motorcycle accident, nothing too serious, but that month forced at home with the cast on my leg didn't help my new found routine of low consumption. So at the moment I'm back to the point of smoking 2-3 joints a day in the evening after work...I will make another tolerance break as soon as I feel the need though, since last one was seriously an eye opener. I should have kept my consumption on check and not going back to daily ritual use but what can I do....I'm human after all.

I am taking a few breaks lately as I have developed a bad throat irritation. Also being that I have access for some time now to top-shelf stuff.....I need to lower my T for sure. It is damn tough to do now as I just got a massive haul and a new vape will arrive here tomorrow. I also just made a nice gravity water unit that got me more ripped than ever....damn....timing sux on my end....though I know I gotta bite the bullet and not partake for a bit.

Just finished a week from not using cannabis. I am a heavy user, vaping up to 2-3 times a day for the past 3 years. My original goal was to aim for month tolerance break, but I recall being on a 11 day cruise and gotten a nice buzz to a point where I can't ride my bike probably and give up riding around my neighborhood half way. :D

My concern is that I recently gained some weight and was wondering if I should either extend my 1 month break or aim lower at 2-3 weeks. I'm 5'6, 180 lbs and I can grab my love handles a bit. :(

This picture isn't me, but our body shape close is similar.

I wouldn't consider 2x a day heavy at all unless you are vaping like grams in those sessions. My tolerance would be almost nothing if I only vaped twice a day.

Well, I use up to 2.5 grams a day on average. I can vape all the strains I want on my Volcano, but I just wouldn't get that buzz/high anymore. That's reason I started my tolerance break.

I see, so you are doing some pretty long sessions. What temperature do you typically have the Volcano set to?
