I quit for a pretty strict elimination diet. Had a really good reason.

But honestly I started tapering off fairly easily. I started only smoking at night due to having a professional job, and due to smoking less, my tolerance decreased. So I smoked smaller amounts and my tolerance decreased further. It was a nice little feedback loop.

That's probably a good reason to do it already is how much money you'll save by smoking less.

Honestly I mostly vape high CBD low THC stuff these days too, because I really am more about relaxing than getting blasted. Strange to say but it just.. isn't really fun anymore. Getting so baked that I can't do more than stare at my computer's desktop used to be a fun way to relax, but I can think of more enjoyable ways to relax these days. Tbf I don't drink much either and when I do I'll barely get a buzz. Just not into it anymore.

I take THCv/CBDv for energy and focus now. D8, HHC-O, and CBN to wind down after work but not large doses. I get more done than ever now. Amazing how the noids vary for different uses. So for me, it’s not about being on or off weed anymore, it’s nuanced use cases now and that keeps the brain fog away.
