Where are you listening from?

Your kitchen might be the best dispensary you’ll ever have, but the real magic happens in your brain. We pull back the curtain on the endocannabinoid system and show how edibles—especially THC—bind to CB1 receptors, ripple through dopamine, GABA, and serotonin, and shape everything from euphoria to anxiety to time distortion. If you’ve noticed that your favorite gummy doesn’t hit like it used to, there’s a reason: tolerance builds as your brain downregulates receptors. The good news is that sensitivity can return faster than you think with a short, intentional break.

Ready to reset your relationship with cannabis? We’re launching the Fresh Start Tolerance Break Challenge for January—daily check-ins, weekly videos, science-backed tips, and a supportive community to help you rebuild sensitivity, save money, and return with intention. Whether you’re new to edibles or a seasoned home cook crafting your own infusions, this guide gives you the science and structure to make every dose count.
