imagine all the effects or 'benefits' you receive while high on weed.
now imagine the opposite when you're not on it.
all drugs do this

no.
there's a rebound effect.
say you're a person that never smoked weed. that's baseline.
now, smoke weed every day all day for years. since your body naturally wants to be in homeostasis it will downregulate certain chemicals in your body since it doesn't see the need to produce it, since it's getting those chemicals from an outside source.
when you get off the weed, your body doesn't just flip a switch and start producing those chemicals again. so you kinda become a husk.

kinda like how steroid users' balls shrink after prolonged use.
i don't know exactly what the body is downregulating, buts it's foolish to think weed doesn't cause this at all.

In that case it would be no different from the dopamine rush from any other source of stimulation or ingested substance that one is prone to receiving ample exposure to in the contemporary world. The question is whether singling out one of those things will be of any significant difference to your personal condition.
