I was once in this same predicament, and there was no easy way out. I was confused at the time, because whenever I was stoned I would think about how I'd get off it and whenever I was sober all I wanted to do was get stoned. I needed professional help at the time but I'm good at hiding it I guess, and running from myself. I was a living contradiction to myself. I could list all the side effects I got from heavy, long term weed abuse but that is more person dependent. Of course weed isn't really all that addictive and I had issues to be smoking that much to begin with. But of course, it was all the weed, it's always the weed to blame... until you take a closer look.
You do not need to have your experience validated. Cannabis withdrawal exists. Weed is still great if you can respect it. Most people don't feel the need to use it very heavily, and it has medical uses, so it might be worth getting your mental health checked out if you haven't yet and you smoke compulsively or chronically. Anyone who is freaking out like that without weed, and isn't using it for a known anxiety/panic disorder, needs to lay off the weed entirely for a long while. Just remember, weed didn't do shit. It's a silly weed. You probably chased the euphoria of it and got greedy smokin way too much, then lost self control.
The only solution, as I'm sure you know, was to quit for years. One year minimum or you are kidding yourself. Took me 3 and I wouldn't go anywhere near it. I only started smoking again, because I took a puff out of desperation while withdrawing from oxycodone and realized how different it was. Like starting over my relationship with weed, but as an experienced man instead of a dumbass teenager who lacked self control, and having a good medical use for it now (depression) instead of getting wasted with friends. Then, it took some time for me to make amends and heal wounds, but something changed when weed came back in my life. For the better. I once again had hope.
You know that there is only a certain high you can achieve with weed right... if you smoke less frequently, you will get way more high. Some people don't have the self control to wait, and after a while it becomes a selection of either all or nothing. This pattern probably appears in other areas of an individuals life, who smokes herb this way.
