Breaks for tolerance breaks can 21 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,500 even on the simplest terms just be Sending the amount of 22 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:25,200 cannabis that you do use or lessening the amount of times 23 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,600 that you partake just depending on, if you're a medicinal user 24 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,100 or a habitual user might be another term for, what do you 25 00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:35,500 mean by that? Like, I'm am I using it morning 26 00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,700 noon and night with that be a heavy user? 27 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,600 Yeah, if you're using it constantly, you're definitely a 28 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,800 heavy user, some people medicinally that's just what you 29 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,400 do for pain or whatever your ailment is that you're utilizing 30 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,500 that for. So, somebody who has a Anxiety 31 00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:55,400 and is taking a little bit throughout the day. 32 00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,300 Would they still be considered a heavy user? 33 00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:01,700 No, no. I would not consider them a 34 00:02:01,708 --> 00:02:04,900 heavy user. So what would be a heavy user 35 00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:10,699 and you're in your words what is a heavy user like let's just 36 00:02:10,699 --> 00:02:14,100 call it out Brandon. I am a you using your a heavy 37 00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:14,700 user. Okay? 38 00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,200 My bit I use my destiny. I wake up hurting I go to bed 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,000 hurting. I heard all day long. 40 00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:25,400 I also use it for Stress anxiety, depressed moments. 41 00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:30,400 But I use it to be able to engage in an act and move 42 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,200 function, like normal. So I have a different tolerance 43 00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,900 but that the the tolerance break. 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,200 Basically the shortest one I've done is 48 hours which for using 45 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,800 medicinally as tough because that's 48 Hours of Pain, still 46 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,700 use and maintain high doses of CBT like I do normally But 47 00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:54,900 without the THC and can you take us in an order? 48 00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,600 What's the pain that you're feeling? 49 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:03,000 That is so constant that you use cannabis medicinally, I have a 50 00:03:03,008 --> 00:03:07,400 crack desk. Midway up my spine, from a 51 00:03:07,408 --> 00:03:13,100 motorcycle accident years ago. And it's been not bad enough to 52 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:17,300 operate according to doctors. But at the same time be bad 53 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:19,700 enough that I'll just have chronic pain, okay. 54 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,500 So it's That just is constant with me all the time regardless 55 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:28,400 of what I do. So the cannabis use to you 56 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:31,900 daily, partake of, does it directly affect the pain? 57 00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:34,700 Does it go straight to your head and it just kind of helps, you 58 00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:38,000 forget? That depends on this train. 59 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:45,100 Hmm specific strains hit a lot deeper into the pain, some do 60 00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:49,200 more numbing of the head that I don't notice it as much just 61 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,900 depends. I always like to introduce High 62 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,500 doses of CBD as well, because that does help. 63 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,200 As well as my Pain talking about CBD. 64 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,900 And I've read about several different individuals, that it 65 00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:05,500 varies an time duration of a tolerance break, some people do 66 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:09,100 $40 some people do 72 hours. Some people do a full week, some 67 00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:11,400 people do Twenty Eight to thirty, eight thirty days. 68 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,300 I've seen other people taking a full year off and coming back to 69 00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:18,399 it with the intention of coming back to it. 70 00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:21,899 And that's pretty intense. I would only think that Would be 71 00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:27,400 those habitual users who are morning noon and night until 72 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,700 Real Pain. Maybe a little bit of anxiety, 73 00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:34,600 things like that, but they're going so strong and they realize 74 00:04:34,900 --> 00:04:37,900 that it's not working the same way. 75 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,800 So I want to talk about that for a little bit. 76 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,400 Brandon the reason for a tolerance break is because you 77 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,300 realize that you're addicted or is it? 78 00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:51,300 Because it doesn't work as well. That depends on the person. 79 00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:57,100 Some people like you and I have talked about even the feeling of 80 00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:01,700 not feeling like you are dependent on anything, whether 81 00:05:01,700 --> 00:05:06,100 it's coffee or cannabis or anything, not feeling the need 82 00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,700 to feel like you are dependent. And I think some of that 83 00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:13,700 tolerance break even we talked about, is from the feeling of 84 00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,700 not wanting to feel like, hey, I'm dependent on this and I can 85 00:05:16,700 --> 00:05:19,600 do it without I can do it without it. 86 00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:22,000 I do when I take a tolerance. Break. 87 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,800 I just hurt more. So, taking the tolerance break 88 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,200 starting at 48 Hours, they've noticed that the there's 89 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,900 receptors in your brain and body that the THC stick to. 90 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,000 And as you use cannabis more frequently, those start to 91 00:05:40,008 --> 00:05:42,500 decrease. So you don't feel as high. 92 00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,900 You don't get the same feelings anymore. 93 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,100 Your body doesn't want to be high. 94 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,400 You want to be high. Yeah. 95 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,400 It makes it easier sometimes to make it through. 96 00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:54,000 Life, but your body doesn't want you to. 97 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,800 So taking that tolerance break starting at 48 hours, they 98 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,000 notice that those receptors those things in your body and 99 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,400 your brain, start to come back. So at 30 days, 28 days, that's a 100 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,700 full reset. Typically, they'll notice those 101 00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:14,500 are all fully back so a year. Yeah, it's not necessary, but it 102 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:18,300 might be good for someone's mental Clarity, whatever they 103 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,800 want to do on their own personal side. 104 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,900 Anything past 28 30 days. You're going to be a full reset 105 00:06:25,900 --> 00:06:30,200 of your receptors and that euphoria that you'd feel in 106 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,500 using. Now I'm gonna don't jump back 107 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:37,400 into the same dose as you were before either because you will 108 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,900 get so high so fast. I like how you just said the 109 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000 where it's taking time to be able to give you a reset and 110 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,500 that reset is so important. When you think about other 111 00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:51,300 things that are consistently used. 112 00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:54,300 We day. So we talked about actually I've 113 00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:58,200 been going through some real difficult time with caffeine. 114 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,300 I did not realize I was consuming it as much as I was. 115 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:06,400 Where I would have few cups of coffee in the morning or 30 cups 116 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,800 of coffee in the morning. And then later on, I, you know, 117 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,100 be at some type of networking event for business and I would 118 00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,700 have a Diet Coke or two and then what was that? 119 00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:15,500 Laughter? That one. 120 00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:18,500 I have myself a rockstar 240 milligrams. 121 00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,600 It was delicious. It was mango guava. 122 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:25,900 Mango. But it hit me so hard later on 123 00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:29,400 that evening and it made me feel so incredibly anxious. 124 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,500 I started to think about that especially when we were talking 125 00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:36,100 about tolerance breaks is that when you consume something so 126 00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:39,400 that it has a specific purpose for it. 127 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,000 What you're aiming for that when you get to the point where 128 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,300 you're taking so much that you get anxious, and I have seen 129 00:07:48,300 --> 00:07:50,600 that with cannabis associated, with other people using cannabis 130 00:07:51,100 --> 00:07:53,800 where, It could have been even the Indica strain, where they're 131 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,000 taking it and it's a lower feeling in the body, more 132 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,400 calming feeling, but it induces this anxiety. 133 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,600 Like they had caffeine. Yeah, I used to have a buddy 134 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,400 that for the first while when he was smoking there was times that 135 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,500 he would have panic attacks. Anxiety attacks super 136 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:14,700 interesting. Because now he uses a lot more 137 00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:18,200 but he doesn't have that same reaction when you're taking 138 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,500 caffeine. You're getting a desired effect. 139 00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,400 Wake up. Write it the chemical reactions 140 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,100 and this isn't a caffeine podcast but the chemical 141 00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:29,200 reactions with caffeine and receptors in your brain to be 142 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,700 able to not feel tired. It's not necessarily making you 143 00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:35,400 feel more awake. It just dampens the feeling of 144 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,000 being tired as with cannabis it, dampens the feeling of feeling 145 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:43,000 anxious or depressed or pain. Yeah, Litany of different 146 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:43,900 things. Yeah. 147 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,500 So when that tolerance break is introduced its to be able to 148 00:08:47,500 --> 00:08:53,000 increase the sensitivity of the use of your Des and so Brandon 149 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,100 had said something earlier that. I think we should go a little 150 00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:59,300 into is a tolerance break, doesn't necessarily mean, you 151 00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:04,800 have to stop, you can lessen. But do you think that would 152 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,800 cause a little bit of frustration for somebody who has 153 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,000 pain? I mean, I know you've done 154 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,700 tolerance breaks. I know you said you feel grumpy 155 00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:15,200 on tolerance breaks, but at the same time, do you still feel the 156 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,200 same pain? I feel more pain during my 157 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,700 tolerance breaks. Yeah. 158 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:24,800 Just because I'm not Managing at the same as I'm used to. 159 00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:30,200 So during that time, I increase CBD, try and stretch more, do 160 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,200 things that will help with it because it is I know that going 161 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,500 into it, I'm going to hurt more but that's another thing. 162 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,600 If you are a common user is there are side effects sometimes 163 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,800 of taking a tolerance break, we're going to fill irritable 164 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,300 decreased appetite depressed mood restlessness Anxiety 165 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,900 insomnia, some of the wildest dreams you will ever have come 166 00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,600 when you're taking a tolerance break. 167 00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:02,800 But with that though the side effects are not usually 168 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,000 disruptive they are not extreme they're just obnoxious you know 169 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,200 they're manageable yeah definitely manageable it's not 170 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,300 something that's going to put you into a tailspin of feeling 171 00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:17,300 really frustrated, very angry and a tolerance break. 172 00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:22,100 Again is for those who have been using for quite a Mi or using 173 00:10:22,100 --> 00:10:26,600 extremely large doses for a long period. 174 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,300 When would you think? And again this it's different 175 00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:32,300 for everybody random. But when do you think an 176 00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:36,900 individual should start considering to go on a tolerance 177 00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:39,500 break? Yeah, I actually read something 178 00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:44,700 last night on that, it's a good practice to do 48 hours every 30 179 00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,600 days. Okay, so once every 30 days take 180 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,300 two days off which you know, if you're using medicinally, that's 181 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,100 It's tough sometimes but find other ways to try and manage 182 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:59,500 whatever ailment to even lower the dosing you're using. 183 00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:02,300 Because I know that if I take even a two-day tolerance break 184 00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:08,600 or I somehow manage my pain until the evening time that 185 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,900 smaller dose will hit me. So I'm a charter. 186 00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:15,400 Even in just a partaking later in the day versus first thing. 187 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,700 I think that's extremely important for people to keep in 188 00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:22,000 mind that tolerance breaks are necessary. 189 00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:29,200 For those of us that had been using it bitch Ali for years and 190 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,700 have never taken a break. And there are those of us that 191 00:11:32,700 --> 00:11:38,100 are at, that point, consider it consider thinking about look, 192 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:42,400 I'm probably using way too much. I'm probably having to smoke a 193 00:11:42,408 --> 00:11:46,300 lot more, eat a lot more. Consume it any, which way, I 194 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:51,700 Want more, I've seen that with people who use vape pens tend to 195 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,800 go through the whole pain. Whether it's a half gram, which 196 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,300 is 500 mg, or full pain, which is 1000 mg. 197 00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:02,000 Sounds like a lot, but I've seen people go through those in just 198 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,300 a few days. You calling me out here. 199 00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:05,900 I'm definitely calling. Yeah. 200 00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:08,300 But but that's the thing. It's it. 201 00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,300 Even though it's in high concentrate. 202 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,200 Your tolerance is so high. Yeah, with different types 203 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,400 because I've seen that with you and when you You use flour. 204 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,100 And then when you go into vaping, which is an oil extract 205 00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:24,900 and there's so many different ways that it's extracted from 206 00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:29,100 the plant that I feel that it's just doesn't hit you as hard, 207 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,700 you know, Brandon and I frequent playing video games at least 208 00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:36,500 once a week online together. And if I have a pen, I'll be 209 00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:40,300 puffing on that the whole time. Yeah, I feel like pens, only hit 210 00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:46,300 a certain level high for you, pain management, whatever it. 211 00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:48,900 You're doing. There's nothing past that I've 212 00:12:48,900 --> 00:12:52,600 ever gotten from a pain. Yeah, that's it. 213 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,400 Definitely caps off like this is as high as you can get. 214 00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:57,900 Yeah. All right. 215 00:12:57,900 --> 00:12:59,700 It's like a top rung of the ladder. 216 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,700 You can't go any further. You can keep trying, but it's 217 00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,000 not going to get past it, very strange. 218 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,900 But it's at those points that we need to be thinking about. 219 00:13:10,300 --> 00:13:12,300 Yeah. Maybe I need to take a break to 220 00:13:12,308 --> 00:13:16,300 your wallet, I appreciate it. Yeah, definitely your wall. 221 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,000 It will appreciate it for sure, but I think about that, think 222 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,500 about it.
