I have friends who quit smoking weed and found it really hard... and it isn't meant to be addictive. One of my best friends started smoking it to help with anxiety and now she can't stop and she's in fear of losing her job if anyone finds out. It is illegal after all.
It might help you feel better right now but that's because you're totally sidestepping the psychological aspects of addiction. This is just cross addiction. But it's one thing to replace drinking with over eating and another to replace it with another psychoactive drug. It's not really recovery.
