yes, I used to have the same experience. regular smoking and then stopping for a bit was fine. but it didn't leave my mind. It's not physically addictive, but neither is shopping or video games, or gambling, yet so many people are addicts

Weed is physically addictive. Withdrawal is very mild and only lasts a few days but it can happen with heavy use.

I didn't experience it until I got into edibles and vaping concentrates and I had used weed regularly off and on for twenty years at that point.

So it takes heavy use, but physical withdrawal is a real thing with weed. But as I said, it's the only drug I've been addicted to I would cold turkey.
