It is not forced upon me due to drug tests or other requirements.
It is not forced upon me due to parents.
It is not forced upon me due to money troubles.
It is not forced upon me due to a dry period, where no weed is found.
It is not forced. Period.

I am willing to take an indefinite break to clear my system from weed. I just don't seem to get that rush I used to. I think rush is an extreme word. I don't feel that escape into bliss, that disconnection from the world I used to love. Now don't get me wrong, I am NOT an anti-social person, I love being around people, either high or sober. I won't go into this much, but I don't like being high around ppl that don't know I'm high, it makes me panic.

Anyways, the indefinite break. I have a lot of money saved up for my weed, so when the time comes and I feel the break has been long enough, I will buy some.
I feel I need this break to let my body cleanse itself from the surplus THC in my fatty cells or wherever it goes (never was into the chemistry of THC, even though I'm studying medicine, lol). If I do not do this, I'll keep feeling a bit high, yet I won't be brought into that parallel world where every note on Comfortably Numb gave me shivers and a different emotion. I want to feel that again, and thus, I am taking a break.


Just wanted to share. Sorry for it being long and a bit sad sounding, it's really not. I'm guessing two weeks will do the trick. I could buy weed in 2 weeks, smoke it, see how I feel, and if I don't feel that high I used to feel, then I'll wait another week to smoke the rest of my stash. I also think I'll take up the one day smoke, another day don't smoke. I almost force myself to smoke every night when I have weed, and that's bad.

Good for you man.. I've been thinking a lot lately about taking a break too. I know what you mean about not getting the feelings like before.. keep us posted on how it goes!
(I can't believe you're quitting a week before 4/20 )

Yeah, its great to take a break from the herb, let your tolerance lower, and then get back into the game! I do it myself every month.

However, the whole cleansing thing is not the issue here. THC metabolites (by-products of THC processing by your liver) are the ones that stay in your system. Metabolites from every compound/chemical go through your system. Some (like THC metabolites) stick to your fat cells, but cause no euphoria, no harm, pretty much nada. Most other metabolites get out of your system in days. For you to actually get clean you'd have to not eat, drink, or put in anything in your mouth for quite some times.

If you truly want to cleanse the THC from your system and be THC free, 2 weeks is not enough. If you just want to take a small tolerance breaks, then 2 weeks will be good i'd say. Good Luck. I have to say, though, the highest I've ever been is when I quit smoking regularly for a month and a half and then smoked some good nug.

one weeks or two weeks is good for a little tolerance break, but if you wanna make yourself feel like your first time smoking Id give it atleast a month especially cuz you said you were a daily smoker.

Posts like these fill me up with love for my fellow tokers, just reading and knowing that its so easy for everyone to take self-conscious breaks unaffected by any external sources like parents or peer pressure, or any other things, makes me luv weed even more...

And back up the fact, that it is non-addictive, and doesnt take control of anyones life.

Unlike legally prescribed depression drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc etc...
Fuck the law

Good luck with the break, I kno I could prolly only go a week without weed or I'd be on the floor fetal position .

But my advice, take a break for 5 to 7 days. And drop the extra cash to get some sticky icky headies, and say peace to this existence . Dunno tho, idk your income and home situation but ive been where you've been quite a few times. And In my case I could not smoke for a day, two, 4 at tops and get really stoned on my first bowl def second even on some schwag, that first bowl was practically heaven.

Good for you!
I was pretty much forced to take a break for like 2 weeks when I got busted, and it felt so good to take that little hiatus and then smoke again.
Good luck!!
