I should have expected a similar increase in my tolerance to the cannabis plant after experiencing the same thing with liquor just two years prior.
I had to quit drinking in graduate school when my tolerance jumped up and I was eating ramen just to afford hard liquor. The stress was eating me alive and the booze I was consuming was simply perpetuating the problem instead of improving it. When I sat down with my therapist back then and explained a normal day for me, she suggested I try slowly cutting alcohol out of my routine. It wasn’t easy at first, especially since my increased tolerance meant that my body wasn’t going to simply detox overnight. If I had tried to quit cold turkey, it’s possible the DTs could have killed me like they do for the worst alcoholism cases that reach the Emergency Room ICUs. Once I got the alcohol out of my blood stream and started living each day with just coffee and cannabis, my life immediately turned a corner and I suddenly had a lot less chronic stress and anxiety. This was a reassuring revelation for me and I devoted more time each week to replacing the time I spent drinking with physical or mental activities. That’s one way of sublimating the energy maintaining my alcoholism into something healthier. However, I didn’t expect to see my tolerance to cannabis increase so rapidly after I quit drinking booze. I should have expected a similar increase in my tolerance to the cannabis plant after experiencing the same thing with liquor just two years prior. With fear, I asked older cannabis users on internet forums for their advice regarding my weed tolerance. They told me to switch up my administration methods for cannabis. I was obsessed with smoking cannabis flower products, so they recommended getting both cannabis edibles and cannabis concentrates to supplement the cannabis flower products.
