When you stop smoking after high consumption over a period of time you are no longer able to feel as happy or pleasurable as you usually would. This is because for a long period of time the brain has become used to not having to produce as much hormones to create the emotion of happiness and hence production is lower. Don't get me wrong, i smoke daily, but you should become more educated about what you are putting into yourself if you want to continue smoking in high amounts.
Anyone agree with what i am saying?
As a daily smoker, you really don't have alot of knowledge about it. First of all, as with most psychoactives, your experience depends on set and setting (even though weed isn't as dependent on it as other psychoactives) but when you say that weed DEFINITELY causes paranoia and anxiety is totally false. Every person and smoke session can have different reactions, including anxiety, but saying weed absolutely causes what you say every time is wrong.

Secondly, you are correct that it increases pleasure, I wouldn't go saying its VERY psychologically addictive. Compared to other drugs, it's withdrawl symptoms are very very mild. I've gone a week without even thinking about smoking if I don't have the money to buy any. Yes, it is somewhat psychologically addicting, that's only due to the fact that users like the state of mind and mood that weed produces, not the fact that you crave it.

Sorry if I come off as harsh but I can't let false information be spread around.
