Tolerance Break

A deliberate period of abstinence from cannabis consumption to allow CB1 receptor sensitivity to recover, reducing tolerance to THC. Also called a 'T-break.' Even a 48–72 hour break can noticeably reduce tolerance in moderate users; regular users may need 2–4 weeks for significant receptor reset. Tolerance breaks are recommended when consumers notice diminishing effects at their usual dose, or when they want to lower their baseline consumption.
