I don't and I have some scepticism with it. Mainly it's the what do they mean by "heavy usage"? I mean, I inhale ~4g per day (or just over 2oz. a month) and if that's not heavy usage, I'm not sure what is... but also, make sure whatever is consumed isn't tainted in some way.

But really, if there are concerns, just ask them to consider stopping for a while and see what happens. Like two weeks. Or consider consumption in another way (if vaping a concentrate, don't, switch to dry flower; or inhaling shatter, nah, just go back to dry flower... or consider eating edibles... but remember that not all edibles are equal as well and illicit market ones can be even more of a dosage problem).

But if the individual you're dealing with is, say, disabled with seizures (or has an otherwise untreatable condition to which cannabis usage is really the only meaningful medication), then maybe don't push it.

If the individual is otherwise healthy (no chronic illnesses or disabled or chronic pain(acquired or genetic) I not sure what to suggest other than stopping. If they have a usage disorder (only using cannabis to "escape", then maybe analyze what the escape is from and how to modify that in some beneficial way... you know, therapy).
