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.

Who told you cannabis is not mentally damaging? That is just false.
Weed generally doesn’t have the withdrawal effects because THC is fat soluble. It gets deposited into fat and then when you stop using weed it slowly makes its way back into the bloodstream over time. This means that it basically tapers itself off. It’s also why drug tests can pick up THC weeks later whereas other drugs are gone in a few days.
Hey, I’m no expert but I studied neurons for what it’s worth and wanted to add something.
Dopamine and serotonin are excitatory neurotransmitters, neurons produce a molecule (neuromelanin) to protect themselves from excessive catecholamines (serotonin e dopamine among others) and from metals. So, maybe they are not that great for neurons?

It doesn’t have physical withdrawal effects but it can still cause damage in other ways. Withdrawal effects only happen when you quit, damage happens when you don’t quit
