MODERATORS
If I'm on a T break, I do a nighttime routine to prepare my body for bed. No screens/reading/herbal tea or some such. I also like to buy cranberry juice to sip on - it gives me something to do instead of smoke and cuts down on the anciness surrounding the oral fixation part of smoking. As for sleep - if you're not quitting to pass a drug test then just take CBD. Seriously, CBD is all the relaxing parts of weed with none of the high. Maybe it won't make you pass out like smoking a fat blunt, but it will definitely help take the edge off. Then you can kick the CBD after a week or so and it's a much smoother transition into sobriety.
Solid advice in general, particularly for people approaching this for the first time.
The only issue I've had subbing out CBD is, I usually get it in flower form (legalization in Canada has it's pros and cons - ready access to CBD flower, even if the choices are a bit limited, is a definite pro). You're absolutely right - it does help with relaxation without getting 'high'. But previously, I've found myself smoking it a bit longer than I'd like, with an inkling feeling of "You know what'd make this better? Some fucking THC".
Danged if it didn't help as a break-glass option for the insomnia in past breaks, though. And I do have some CBD pills I got my wife left over I could break into if all else fails.
Appreciate the comment!
If you're a smoker I definitely recommend using ingestable CBD. Just smoking it makes me want some weed too.
