Why is weed not mentally damaging but drugs that use neuro chemicals like serotonin and dopamine bad for you?

I just don’t understand how weed makes you happy but doesn’t have withdrawal effects. Drugs like cocaine, meth, mdma, hallucinogenic etc., you do.

Those drugs can be bad for you because the body is highly adaptive. When it detects it’s getting a certain level of things, it feels it can stop producing it on its own to not flood the system helping the crash, thus needing external tools to increase it.

Cocaine can jack up dopamine. When the body doesn’t make the amount it used to it will look for the external tool to help it (addictions).

Natural Testosterone can stop being produced when users do steroids, it’s why bodybuilders have a taper-off cycle to help the body rekick in its on testosterone and not crash the system.
