A close neighbor of mine fell into opiate addiction after so many years of chronic pain from harsh health troubles; She tried to stay off those medications, however couldn’t function throughout the day without the relief! Things got undoubtedly startling 10 years ago when legislatures put a clamp down on prescription opiates, and it had the exact opposite of the intended effect on my friend.
Suddenly her prescriptions were cut back so much that she had undoubtedly no choice however to turn to the black market to avoid physical withdrawal, and you can’t supply someone a medicated dose of oxycodone and then expect them to take a quarter of that dose everyday from the day moving forward without time for adjustment and tapering, then marijuana doesn’t pose the same risk for addiction as an opiate, however there is still a tolerance to the substance that builds in the bodies of those who use it biweekly.
You might find that you need more cannabis to get the same effect, which is frustrating if you’re on a limited budget. My own tolerance to cannabis has started to build in the past few months from dabbing cannabis concentrates from the medical cannabis dispensary. You start with a particular sized dose and that works for a while, however then you need to increase the size of the dose a little each month! If you’re not careful, the tolerance to THC can get crazy undoubtedly swiftly, so occasionally I switch back to using medical marijuana flower products for a while to try and get my tolerance under control! Going from one type of product to another easily helps if you can’t take a tolerance break altogether from the entire plant for a week or two at least.
