I certainly find with cannabis that the mental struggle is far more significant than any physical dependency, to the extent that it even exists (and I can distinguish it from my overall mental state). Indeed I've dropped much more chemically addictive substances with greater ease.

"Tolerance break" is not a term I've come across before, but it's a great description of at least part of what I'm after. I have taken similar breaks before, and currently have none around and no plans for getting more. I'm not dead set on quitting weed entirely, I don't see it as intrinsically bad, I just have found that if I have it in the house I'm liable to consume it by increasing degrees until I'm back to being high almost all the time. My biggest trigger is simply being awake and looking forward to another fairly predictable day. Perhaps I should be trying to inject more unpredictability into my daily routine? This goes against everything I've fought for in establishing a halfway comfortable middle-class existence, but perhaps it deserves investigation.

Thank you!
