I've done this before just to cut back on cost. Between my husband and I we smoke an ounce a week, every week, all month long. Sometimes we just can't afford to smoke so much. We have done the nightly thing, we had tried the weekends only thing. We have totally stopped but it NEVER lasts. Just got to have the bud. You are right though, the longer you can go without it, the less it takes for you to get you high and the better the buzz. I have only found this to work if you take days off from smoking. I know when I only smoke once a day it's not quit the same as not smoking for a week or two. I'm not smoking right now b/c I'm trying to get a job that will require a drug test. Since I have failed a test for this company before I'm not going to risk it this time. This time, I will be clean and I will be clean from not smoking. Since they have no random testing policy after I get the job I can go back to smoking until my hearts content, and afford to do as much as I want whenever I want. I'm looking forward to that buzz, when it happens, I'll let you know how cool it is. Good luck man.
