Benzodiazepines are known for that and CBD is not at all related but I am a skeptic by nature and would need a significant amount of time to go by before I could cross this off the list.
I haven't heard of this with CBD, but time will tell. If it happens, I would try the same "vacation", as it may just be a tolerance issue.

That is becomes unavailable or a shortage occurs.
Given your location, is this really an issue? I would think that if it proves a successful therapy for you, you might naturally move on to self-supplying (growing your own of an appropriate strain).

Right now, I am very much enjoying this relief with a clear mind. It has been a long time since I have felt this normal and CBD has so far exceeded my expectations.
Following with interest.
