> At that point, you’re legitimately addicted

You can just stop. Really. Go take a long trip somewhere weed is illegal (eg. Japan) and throw out your stash on the way out the door. You will be fine, maybe a little irritable for a couple days, but the trip will distract you and it'll be indistinguishable from typical jet lag symptoms. There is no biological dependence, unlike with most legal drugs such as alcohol, tobacco, benzos...

So this part is not true at all. When I was at my worst, I remember staying somewhere I couldn’t smoke, and I was sweating terribly all night several nights. This is known and documented.
Still sounds nothing nearly as bad as the withdrawal from alcohol, benzos, opioids, tobacco. In the case of the first two withdrawal symptoms can actually kill you.
