ChemicalSpark. Any prolonged exposure to a substance can cause you to feel it when it isn't even in your system. It's just psychology. 2 types of things stick in our subconcous memorys'. 1) Extremely traumatic experiences. We may think we're over them and then one day have a panic attack out of nowhere, your brain reliving the feelings of the experience.
2)Prolongued feelings, whether intense or not. If you have a feeling or thought for a long, long time all the time, it is no surprise that you would feel that feeling even when the cause is absent. That's what I think is going on with you.
Metabolites don't get you high, the metabolites of marijuana are the remnants of THC, what your liver turned the THC into to neutralize it's effects. However THC itself will get stored in your lipid cells, and released over time, which should feel as though you are kind if high the day after you quit, and slightly less so the next day and so on. Ie not what you are describing.

For me, I used to balaze all the time when I was younger (well 2-3 years ago). Psuchedelics put a stop to that. Quitting was never something I truly intended to do, but after my first mushroom trip, which was beautiful and dynamic and incredible, weed was simply overwhelmingly boring.
I got high the night after my first trip, and was somehow expecting something more, and was just left lazy and tired, unable to think, wondering why I like this so much.
I never fully quit. I would go at most a 2 months between blazing, but it would be more at a party or something, not just as a habit. I still do blaze every so often, more often this last month or so, nowhere near how much I used to, but it seems the more I do it, the less enjoyable it is.
With all of my whacky psychedelic experiences under my belt weed is absolutely not what it used to be. When I smoke weed I still get the sedation and suppression if thought I used to, but its accompanied with a visual display, patterns, waviness, tracers, you name it. Its not the same as a trip though, none of the insight and beauty, it kinda makes weed pointless though, because it doesn't give the relaxing chill time it used to, but its not a full blown psuchadelic experience either, which is a good thing. I don't like blazing so much because I get aggravated easily and I get bad sleeps so I'm tired and lethargic all the time, not a productive way to be.
Even if weed were the way it used to be, I wouldn't blaze the way I used to, there's not enough in it, after seeing what my 5HT agonist buddies have to offer.
