Very vivid dreams for a week count?
That's about it. I am getting a good amount of pushback from people who very much like the idea that being able to dream again and not being high are withdrawl.
And sure, they're all technically correct in the most pedantic way.
When I smoke more regularly everyday and stop suddenly I can feel horribly depressed, have trouble eating and sleeping, there are pretty widely recognized withdrawal symptoms though they aren't as bad for everyone. Ask a therapist who works with substance abuse if weed has any withdrawal symptoms, plenty of people have trouble taking breaks or stopping because it can be hard for some to tolerate the symptoms. Obviously it's not the same as something like heroin or benzos but it's more than just more dreams.
It's not even the same as caffeine, my dude.
True, I feel much worse physically when lacking caffeine lol.
longtime user here, i tuck in with a bowl every night, and every morning i wake up with a dream still dancing in my head. when i go on a break i don't "start dreaming again", I have extremely vivid and bizarre dreams for like a week and then it settles back to normal. Drugs have more effect on dreaming than just "stop" and "go". I suspect the issue is less others being pedantic and more you being unwilling to challenge a deeply oversimplified take.
Wow, you remember vivid dreams. That's clearly withdrawl.
....In the most technical sense, only. You're technically correct, the best form of correct. Which is pretty much the definition of pedantry.
You're just straight up provoking me now without even the pretense of trying to make any kind of point, so I'm going to just hit that block button and be done with this exchange.
