Someone I know replaced alcohol with THC edibles recently and had the same experience. She loves it.
For the rest of us looking in, she has become more irritable, anxious, and depressed when she doesn't have the drug, and has become effectively dependent on it to socialize. There was also one study I saw that attributed an 8-10 point IQ drop with long-term weed use.
The effects of weed on your body are a lot less noticeable to you, but they do exist and are harmful for you over the long term. The systems that weed targets (particularly your long-term reward and habit forming systems) are not the same as other drugs, but they change in response to the drug nonetheless.
