I never go for a week without it BUT i have never smoked for more than 3 days at a time like 3 or 4 days a week so my tolerance is low and it doesnt effect my life as much if you get what i mean like i dont wake up and think i need 1 i just do when i want best way coz if u stop for a week for the majority of that week u will be thinkin of weed which is not good.
