Exactly the opposite is true:...

The thing is that marijuana stays in your system for 30 days or so depending on how much fat a person has or how much they smoke/eat/vape. There is no sudden withdrawal when someone stops smoking. Alcohol, cocaine, nicotine (any "ine" really) is completely metabolized within 24 hrs. That's why there is withdrawal. With marijuana there is no physical addiction, but there can be a psychological one.

Inert metabolic byproducts are what stay in the system; if it was the active ingredient, users would stay high for 30 days.

And that's why people party with coke or meth on Friday, instead of using marijuana. They may have to take a drug test for a job interview Monday. In that way, marijuana leads to using the hard drugs.
