    I really struggle to take t breaks, since I sadly rely on it quite a lot for my day to day emotional regulation, but I’ve had great success reducing my tolerance by switching to edibles. Due to the edible high taking a couple hours to come in, it doesn’t fullfil that addictive need for instant gratification as much, which stops me from using it during anxiety flare-ups and other stressful situations. Additionally, the edible high can last for hours and feel quite intense compared to a smoking high, so I tend to become naturally more careful with my dosage to avoid being completely knocked out for half a day. Over the course of a couple of weeks my usage tends to reduce by at least half. I also keep a little graph I update every day with my usage, which motivates me to make the line trend downwards.

    The biggest downside is that if you aren’t able to buy pre-made edibles, infusing butter from the flower is an hours long process that is super exhausting (at least to me as a disabled person), so I tend to slip back into smoking once my current batch runs out. Also it won’t help much with the oral fixation part of it, so you might have to find a way to deal with that part as well.
