Description
Cannabis doesn’t kill brain cells like methamphetamine. Unlike alcohol, it doesn’t cause the connections between these cells to wither away. Instead—cue scary music—repeated cannabis consumption leads to a diminished effect better known as “tolerance.”
If you stop using cannabis, the brain can recover. And it does so impressively quickly, generally within weeks.
The reason for a consumer’s tolerance to THC can be explained by cannabinoid type I (CB1) receptors in the brain, which decrease with continued cannabis use. That is, you need to consume more of the high-inducing THC to get your buzz. Over time and with continued use, it may seem impossible to get high at all.
But here’s the thing: if you stop, the brain can recover. And it does so impressively quickly, generally within weeks.
