A T-break, short for "tolerance break," is a temporary period during which a person stops using cannabis to reduce their body's tolerance to it. Regular cannabis use causes the body to build up tolerance, meaning more cannabis is needed to achieve the same effects.

. Typically, a T-break lasts about 21 days, as this is roughly how long it takes for THC to leave the system and for cannabinoid receptors to regain sensitivity. However, the exact length can vary depending on individual factors, and some people try shorter breaks of a few days to a week to see how they feel
