Re: The time course and significance of Cannabis withdrawal

I think we all agree on the apples to oil rigs theory, and that the study is mostly bunk. While I never have, I have known people that experience cannabis withdrawal, it's a natural effect of going without anything you love, and are used to having.
The difference is nicotine, alcohol, coke, ******, etc. are physical addictions. They affect your body much more than THC. No matter how much your brain wants to quit, it's your body that wants the drug.
THC is merely psychoactive, it's affects are primarily on your brain and nervous system. It is a mental adicction. All it takes to quit is a strong will and personality. Any withdrawl symptoms are usually in your head, just like the high.
I would think the people doing these studies should point out that difference.
