How to Reset Your THC Tolerance

How to Reset Your THC Tolerance

While there are a number of potential health benefits that can be brought on by THC use, using cannabis frequently can build up a person’s tolerance to THC. This means that the same doses of THC don’t have the same effects that they used to. Many people want to lower their tolerance in order to reap the full benefits of cannabis once again. Continue reading to learn how to gradually reduce your THC intake and, in turn, effectively reset your THC tolerance. This can ultimately improve your overall THC experience. 

Risks of Cannabis

There is an interesting relationship between THC and addiction. Although many people use THC to combat their addiction to other substances, such as alcohol, it is possible to develop a condition called Cannabis Use Disorder. This can exacerbate existing mental health issues. Even if a person doesn’t develop CUD, it is simply possible to use too much cannabis too frequently. In fact, even those who don’t use too much THC can potentially develop a tolerance to this cannabinoid.

THC tolerance can develop as a person’s body begins to adapt to THC, the primary cannabinoid in cannabis and cannabis products. Frequent cannabis usage can alter the body, potentially decreasing the sensitivity of the cannabinoid receptors. As a result, larger amounts of THC may be required more frequently in order to produce the same medicinal or euphoric effects as before. If you suspect that cannabis isn't working as well as it used to, it might be time to consider a tolerance reset. This can reduce the amount of cannabis you need to consume and increase your enjoyment of it.

Take a THC Tolerance Break

There is some preparation you can do before starting your tolerance break from THC. First, you should set some goals for yourself. Determine exactly how long you want to take a break for and how low you of a dose you wish to revert back to. It can also be helpful to tell your friends and family about your plan, so they can provide you with support. 

Depending on the frequency and amount of your THC use, you may find it difficult to cut back at first. The best steps you can take to fight the symptoms of THC withdrawal are to stay hydrated, exercise, and get some good sleep. You may also want to consider lowering your dosage gradually. For instance, if you use 20 mg a day, try using only 15 for a couple of days, then 10, and so on, until you get down to 0 mg. A meditation routine and a healthy diet can also be helpful. 

When you choose to end your THC t-break, make sure that you don’t go back to using as much THC as you were before. Start with a small dose and gradually increase it if you need to. Remember, the goal of a tolerance break is to maximize the effects you experience with a smaller amount. To learn more about THC and our THC gummies, visit Happy Fruit online!
