As many of you know, my weed consumption is VERY low, but VERY frequent. I have vaped/smoked bud every single night for years, but I consume very little. Just 3 to 5 hits per night does me just fine.
So for the first time in years, I've taken a few days off. It is now day 5 without bud. From what I've read from others who have taken T-breaks, they have experienced things like increased dreams, decreased appetite, increased agitation and a bit of insomnia for the first week or so of not smoking/vaping bud. For me, I guess because I use less than most, I didn't experience these things, but what I did experience was pretty obvious and fairly dramatic.
I'm pretty physically active. 5 days a week, I go for a 4 mile run. What happens is, I leave the house, go for a run, and come back. That's about it. But since I've been on this T-break, going on 5 days now, I've become more aware of the detail of my surroundings, like marveling at the cloud formations, like seeing the activity of the birds while I'm running, like smelling the scent of flowers, like noticing the smile on a baby's face, like noticing the affection of a 90 year old couple walking down the street, like noticing how green the leaves are on a tree that I pass by.
It's akin to a fog being lifted and all of a sudden, I'm noticing things around me that I've never paid much attention to before. It's a nice change, so much so, that I think T-breaks will come around a bit more often.
Changing things up is a good thing for it's way to easy to get into a rut, and that goes for just about anything, including weed.

). Maybe you are negatively affected by bud though, it changes from person to person.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I've been doing this for so long as well as ingesting just about every mind-altering substance there is back in the late 60's, early 70's, and that bud now just affects me a bit differently in relationship to not being high.
