Unlike THC, CBD does not typically create a psychoactive effect—but can you build up a tolerance to its calming benefits over time?
Let’s explore what the research says.
🔁 What Is Tolerance?
Tolerance means needing more of a substance over time to feel the same effect. This is common with substances like caffeine, nicotine, or THC.
🧪 What About CBD?
Early studies and anecdotal reports suggest:
-
CBD does not appear to create tolerance in the same way THC does.
-
Some users experience reverse tolerance, needing less CBD over time as their endocannabinoid system becomes more balanced.
🛠 Tips to Avoid Tolerance:
-
Use only what you need. Don’t exceed the effective dose.
-
Take short breaks (CBD holidays) if needed every few weeks.
-
Choose full-spectrum products, which may support the entourage effect for lasting benefits.
