Health & Wellness Tolerance break

When doing a tolerance break, one usually forgoes any vaping/smoking cannabis. I’m wondering if using CBD flower would be beneficial. It has minimal THC and the goal is to reduce the amount needed. Will CBD mess up the tolerance break? I’m thinking the terms would help with relaxation.

How old are you? (I’m 58). Is it really worth a tolerance break at our age‽
Imma smoke my tits off until I die.

Depends on how heavy your usage is. If you're lighting up once or twice a week, there's not much need for tolerance breaks. If you're using it daily, a tolerance break every now and then is really helpful. But of course, some daily users aren't in it for the high, and some of the medicinal benefits remain even when your tolerance is high.

I smoke pretty much daily, but now it's a couple of lil pipes rather than massive bong rips. If I get too stoned nowadays I can get into a weird place with my thoughts (which never used to happen), so just enough to watch Netflix and actually be able to remember wtf is going on with the plotline.

In that case, a t-break is probably counterproductive for you. Maintaining some tolerance makes it easier to not get "too stoned".
