I'm in need of a tolerance break. Actually, I've let it go much too long because I absolutely dread taking my "pharmaceutical substitutes" while I'm waiting for my tolerance to go down. They make me feel slow and tired most of the day. Now I really need to get my tolerance down because I can't afford to vape this much weed.

The thing is, I don't need very much to deal with my sleep disorder. Just a few hits off the vape do it and that applies to whether I get high or not. This led me to wonder if it would be possible to take a tolerance break without quitting vaping altogether. What if I just take three or four hits and stop?. That's not nearly enough to get me high right now, but I'd sleep just fine.

My conjecture is that if my daily intake of THC is less than the amount required to build a tolerance, eventually my THC receptors will recover to the point where I can get slightly high on the amount I need to sleep. This would take longer than going "cold turkey" but it eliminates the "pharmaceutical substitutes" problem.

Has anyone else tried this? I'm going to start - tomorrow. I'm already much to high tonight. Or this morning. Or whatever it is. How did it get to be 7:30 AM?

I just took a tolerance break, but it was only about 3 days. I also hate the way RX meds make me feel, and having to rely on them while I'm on a break. I'm back down to less than a gram a day, but I may need to take a longer break, more like a week because it does not seem to be helping my pain as well. In my case, I do not think only using a few tokes a day would help me lower my tolerance. I think I might do better with a whole week.

In your case, it might work. You can try, and see what happens.

I spread my use out to the point where I'm only using a quarter of a gram daily. (For Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.)
Some people may need more, or possibly less for strictly medical use.
Even with that low dose, my tolerance increases and decreases due to mostly external factors, ie. stress, agitation.
The important part is, I stop when my desired level of comfort is reached. If I do go slightly over, oh well. I could argue that mild euphoria is somewhat necessary to relieve symptoms.
In the low doses I use, mild sedation is the main goal.
That said, I doubt that Physicians have any specific dosing guidelines.
