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.

It’s not as talked about as pharmaceutical medications, but cannabis does have side effects, some being severe. It can cause anxiety, depression and psychosis in some people, especially those with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. It can also cause cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, which is a severe vomiting syndrome in some longterm users. Just like any other medication, there are side effects from using cannabis as well.
