Shank: Why take a break? Why slow down when we know we're going to fast? Why not try to push ourselves as far as we can go?
We try to limit our use because, as you said shank, we know the problems it can cause... We know that it is quite likely that long term use at high doses is going to cause some damage... while there's no conclusive evidence that moderate use will lead to any problems in life, most of us would have noticed some things which could be attributed to drug use, things which taking a step back, and cutting down, helps to fix...
If you (and by 'you' I mean everyone) can live with the implications of weekly drug use, then you are not someone who believes in moderation, and your don't fully understand what harm you could be doing... Either that or you just don't care, in which case you should have a long hard think about where your drug use is, and where it might end up...

Its easy to be,
Easy and free,
When it doesn't mean anything...
You remain selfless, cold, and composed...
