Biologically. Mentally. Etc.

I mean, is there like a detox period and then suddenly you are cleansed and 110% more healthy.

I wouldn't call a habitual craving a withdrawal, but I'm no expert on the subject either

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.

Yes. A weed addict can experience withdrawals the equivalent of a caffeine addict quitting cold turkey.

Their brain lacks the sufficient serotonin that was pumped into their bloodstream, and they'll crave the drug so bad that they'll do desperate things to experience the same high, even if it means they must look into other drugs that perform the same or have a greater effect on their psyche.
This is why weed is considered a gateway drug.

Yeah i remember reading about seratonin and dopamine or whatever. So how long until an everyday smoker gets back to normal levels naturally?

I don't know.
It could take weeks, months, maybe even years.
Once you get a certain type of drug into your system, your body takes a long time to reject it. Rehab might help, although some people will relapse and start doing drugs again...

You realize that is complete horse shit, yeah?

Plus, alcohol has a completely different effect on the body. Those withdrawals can straight-up kill you.

Yes you can do that and be no worse for wear. Weed isn't physically addictive whatsoever. You won't crave it like you would other drugs or even alcohol after becoming addicted if you quit it cold turkey

Underrated post.

Withdrawals will be mild if at all, as others have said - similar to caffeine.

Apparently they'll be nationwide killing spree at worst? I dunno what's goin' on up there.

can you show some data about how it can fuck up your body, rather than make some assumptions? I'm not against the idea of weed being bad for you, but all the research I've seen says otherwise or, at best, is speculative.

those stories are always about what they got into or did AFTER consuming the edibles (and they always eat way past the recommended amount)
or people freaking out about greening out which just feels bad and can induce nausea but otherwise is harmless
the THC content itself could not kill you
