I’m 21 and over the past couple months my THC use has escalated a lot, especially with high-dose edibles (liquid diamonds, etc.).
It started as something occasional, just to relax and shut my brain off a bit. But recently it’s turned into a routine where I’m taking pretty high doses, sometimes 50mg+, and a few times I’ve gone up to 100–120mg in a day.
At this point I feel like my tolerance has gone up really fast, and I don’t even get the same effects anymore unless I take a lot.
The bigger issue is why I’m using it.
It’s not really for fun anymore. It’s more to:
- stop overthinking
- numb out stress or emotions
- avoid sitting with my thoughts
When I’m high, I feel okay for a bit. But when it wears off, I feel kind of empty or off again, which makes me want to take more.
I’ve also noticed:
- my sleep feels weird without it
- I feel foggy sometimes the next day
- my motivation and routine are getting inconsistent
I recently tried not taking it and couldn’t sleep properly, which made me realize I might be more dependent on it than I thought.
I’m not against THC in general, but I don’t like how I’m using it right now.
So I guess my questions are:
- Has anyone else had their tolerance spike this fast?
- What’s the best way to reset without feeling like shit (t-break, tapering, etc.)?
- How long does it usually take to feel normal again after stopping high doses?
Would appreciate real experiences, not just “quit bro” type replies.
