Most people have likely heard of Dry January, a voluntary month where people go without consuming alcohol. But the idea can extend beyond booze to other activities like cannabis consumption.
James MacKillop is a professor with McMaster’s Department of Psychiatry & Behavioural Neurosciences and director of the Peter Boris Centre for Addictions Research.
He has spoken at length about the benefits of a “dry” month. For cannabis users, these benefits include a resetting of tolerance, a clearing of the mind, and giving the lungs a break.
