   	I can confirm that with medical cannabis the tolerance is a thing.   
   	i am having to use 2X the dose to get some sleep and by the   
   way Melatonin has the same problem.   
   	Best if you can to take a holiday from both for a while.  On the   
     other hand when I was stuck in the Rehab facility with my   
   post-operative fused ankle this winter and spring I did not notice   
   withdrawal problems with any of the stuff I usually take which is a bit   
     of a surprise since I was taking Vitamin C at 3000 mg. in three daily   
   1000 mg. doses and I have had symptoms of scurvy on previous   
   withdrawals. Those were sore mouth problems.   
      
   	But I cannot exercise enough to get tired enought to simply   
   go to sleep most days and if I exercise that much I generally   
   suffer for it that night with leg cramps and the next day cannot   
   perform at a reasonable level. I.e. get out of bed and do stuff.   
      
   	At 4 AM I was 88 years of age.   
   	I have been using cannabis in one form or another for   
   about 50 years. I take better care of myself when ingesting   
   cannabis than i do without using cannabis.
