When to Reset

A reset is just as unusual as it is necessary. Everyone responds differently to cannabis, and different kinds of cannabis, generally and with excellent cannabis, over time and with frequency, can alter your sleep, motivation, intention, and thinking. Even though it is in your system for several weeks, cannabis levels upon cessation will diminish and having an intentional reset period of time will allow the endocannabinoid system to recalibrate back to the natural rhythms in the body.

Physical Cleanse Methods

Hydrate:
During your reset, please increase your water balance significantly over typical baseline levels. Cannabis can often be dehydrating, and proper hydration is essential to allow the body to absorb and flush out the actual chemicals consumed during use. Aim for a minimum of 3 liters each day adding lemon or cucumber, which will have the cleansing boost.

Sweat:
Your new best friend will become exercise for that Post-420 Reset! Cardio, hot yoga, sauna, or any exercise where you really sweat to eliminate stored cannabinoids with perspiration. Start with 20-30 minutes of daily moderate exercise and increase when it feels right to do so.

Nutritional:
Your liver processes the cannabinoids consumed, and it works extremely hard to do this while maintaining your continual and prolonged use of cannabis. Add plenty of antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, greens, and cabbage, to keep supplementation and stress low while clearing your liver. A progressive reduction of cannabis intake, if feasible, allows your liver to be maintained. Milk thistle supplementation is an example of liver support you can complete or include easily during your cleanse period.

Mental and Emotional Reset

Sleep:
It may be hard to rest initially due to a withdrawal of cannabis, which makes it difficult to regulate a sleep schedule. Develop a consistent sleep ritual upon your intended reset time. Try to avoid screens before bed, modulation of screen brightness, and perhaps utilize natural sleep aids like chamomile tea, melatonin, etc., or practice preventative, supportive sleep hygiene to be restored to quality restful sleep and mental recovery.

Mindfulness:
Complement habitual and responsible use and recovery involving cannabis with other healthier self-soothing habits or choices. Consider mindfulness meditation, perhaps sampling a single box meditation, deep breathing, or journaling to ease some anxiety when transitioning into withdrawal.

Accountability:
Share your Post-420 Reset intentions with a couple of close friends. With a couple of accountability partners involved in your reset process, it becomes much easier, and you will have some support when you are dealing with cravings.

Timeline Expectations

Generally, week one will have some of the most serious and intense withdrawal symptoms: irritability, sleep disruption, loss of appetite, etc. In week two, you will typically feel a better situation with emotional state regulation, energy levels, and mood. By week three and into week four, almost all mentioned will capture someone able to convey a mental clarity, increased motivation, and can possibly recognize reminding themselves of personal goals.

Establishing Habits That Create Personal Neglect

Know that the Post-420 Reset is a short time to be forged; you are building new routines to meet your overall wellness goals. Do you plan to refrain from cannabis use permanently, or did you want to create an event to reset your tolerance or to reflect and plan for your re-engagement with cannabis use? This phase of a reset will teach you about your relationship with cannabis.
