Tangentially, since moving to edibles to avoid damaging my lungs and hopefully live longer, I've noticed that I don't have cravings for edibles the way I do with smoking flower. Eg, if I smoke one day, then I will feel a craving to smoke for the next week or so. But if I eat edibles one day but not the next, I don't notice any craving.

My hypothesis is that it's similar to cigarettes where the nicotine is much more addictive in combination with MAOIs in the cigarette. I don't know that MAOIs are the culprit here, I haven't looked into it. And this could be idiosyncratic to me, of course.

Just another reason not to smoke. The cannabis industry in my state has perfected gummies and driven the price down to the point it's not much more expensive than smoking, even with my really high tolerance, and the dispensary will deliver them to my house, so I'm all out of excuses.

Cannabis addiction is a dopaminergic response so this makes total sense. The delayed response gratification of the edible onset is enough to break the response activation of dopamine behavioral reward.
