You get psychological withdrawals and get the urge to smoke for 2-3 days and then you get over it.
Nothing happens to your body.
This. There are no physical withdrawals like you want to puke your guts out like say from cocaine... But there are mental. Most potheads, I know are extremely irritable and have tons of mental problems.
Believe it or not, cocaine isn't physically addictive, just psychologically.
I always assumed it was physically addictive?
It is, just not to the extent that many assume.
https://americanaddictioncenters.org/cocaine-treatment/is-it-physically-addictive/ Not only does cocaine change how neurotransmitters are released, but a study found that cocaine addiction actually changes a persons genetics, and this could lead to physical addiction. The drug activates genes that code for the protein delta-FosB; this protein, in turn, activates production of GluR2, a component of glutamate receptors, and these bind to the neurotransmitter glutamate. An increase in the ability to bind to glutamate intensifies a persons sensitivity to cocaines rewarding effects, which is a physical change leading to reinforcement for taking the drug.
Thing is though too is coke is expensive, it's difficult to get addicted to because once sober after the night of lines, most people don't want to spend the money to continue, it's why it's often referred to as a rich mans addiction.
When you're on it though, you just keep wanting to do more and more. No one looks at their bag and says "I'm gonna save the rest of this for another time". ---
