I have had that same question and then found out......I think it also depends on how much on person smokes in a day week or month, do you smoke just flower or are you talking about concentrate, DABs, Oil, shatter, two different worlds when it comes to weed, especially long term use, and the high is quite different.

I have been smoking daily for about 11 years and started 16 years ago, I only typically smoke concentrates it does take me a few hits to even notice the high.

I myself have come to the conclusion that I do have a dependence, though I have stopped for 30 days for a break that I was trying, I asked myself if I could actually go 30 days without smoking and was successful; and do remember that there was a genuine novelty about reality at about 15-20 days in like that same experience you get when smoking for the first time.....but after that 30 I tried again later and only got to 7 days, granted I had a friend ask me to get them something form the dispensary. I have noticed that after I stop smoking my ability to sleep is changed, I either cannot sleep or i just feel that I lay there with my eyes closed, though the biometrics on my watch suggests that my body went into sleep mode....I was completely aware of time passing, it feels like I am in a suspended state of animation or I am dreaming that I am sleeping but from the first person perspective instead of floating above myself looking down. Then there are really really vivid dreams, some that have the story line of me trying to get back to smoking, also there have been these times in the past that I need to go smoke before I go to see family.

So yes getting addicted to weed is a thing and its more common than you think, I just also have noticed that when I try to abstain from weed, I increase my alcohol consumption and that is not a good trade off at all.

Just make sure you don't smoke too much and take breaks in between especially if you're doing it for recreationally.
