Like do you crave them the same way as food when you're really hungry or what?
I guess it's kind of a dumb question. Idk

imagine something you do every day, and would feel shitty if you didn't do. maybe it's taking a shower. or brushing your teeth. or masturbating. (ok the last one is a stretch, but i'm trying to pick something relateable).
let's pick the teeth brushing thing. imagine you just ate the best plate of stinky food, like onions and garlic and things like that. so you get done, and you know you need a mint or to brush your teeth. but you can't. you've decided you won't do it again. ever. so you have this feeling that you NEED to clean your mouth, but you cannot, and you have to move on with your life and try not to think about brushing your teeth.
that is a really shitty analogy but basically you feel like it's something routine that you have to do or you feel 'off' so you keep being reminded of it. plus add in a the physical addiction part which is something else entirely, like your equilibrium just doesn't feel right without it, you feel anxious and upset and you just know if you smoked it would make it better
