About
Frequent cannabis use leads to increased tolerance.  The community of weed smokers has addressed this by encouraging periodic breaks from cannabis to help bring down tolerance.  Called a ‘t-break’, it is an organic harm reduction technique.  Unfortunately, without guidance, people often find a t-break harder than they thought.  The T-Break Guide was written from the wisdom of people who have lived it. There are not many resources for cannabis; come learn about this free one, and take a deeper dive into cannabis culture and how we can better have these discussions with our clients.
