After extra dopamine from a drug such as weed is gone does the body correct itself and produce the correct amount of dopamine again?

No, that's the whole point of addiction. But first of all, only recently has marijuana been shown to increase levels of dopamine, but only if taken in high enough doses. But if you assume marijuana is not addictive, then it shouldn't be affecting dopamine levels to begin with. Constant use of addictive drugs, however, can cause the brain to lose its ability to produce high levels of dopamine. When this happens, a drug user feels a greater need for the drug, or for even stronger drugs.

Can you permanently deplete your dopamine from excessive drug use?
The stimulation of dopamine production in the brain, or the imitation of its action, is one of the primary ways that drugs and addictive activities please us. Likewise, a shortage of dopamine is one of the causes of withdrawal. However, it would be more correct to say that we become addicted to the things that stimulate it, since dopamine itself is a normal part of our brain chemistry. To put it simply, yes. But technically, no. Say you're taking crack. Whenever you take it, you get a rush of domapine and other effects (reduced pain, lightheadedness). The dopamine level is so high that the body raises it's "expected level" of dopamine, so not taking crack makes you depressed, and causes the opposite of the other effects (body pain, headaches). In a way, this causes the addiction. If you were to take actual, synthetic dopamine, and take it often, you couldn't actually get addicted to it, but you would be depressed without it.
