The withdrawal seems to be the same as nicotine, which I have experienced. I quit smoking after 10 years. Cold turkey, no aids. I know what it was like.
They were my roommates so I got to be a spectator to it. Neither intended to quit. The supply just dried up.
You may not believe it but you can’t refute it because you weren’t there.

Headache.
Nausea.
Constipation or diarrhea.
Fatigue, drowsiness, and insomnia.
Irritability.
Difficulty concentrating.
Anxiety.
Depressed mood.

Generally, just a stressed person.

I believe these. The other physical symptoms you listed, not so much. Maybe they happened as a result of the quitting, or maybe just coincidence, but either way they are extremely minor.

As I said in some of my other posts, a true addiction to a truly addictive substance means that you either feed your addiction, or you die. I mean literally die, leave this earth dead.

Alcohol can cause such an addiction, so can a number of other hard rugs and pills.

My addiction was to Xanax, and let me tell you quitting that drug cold turkey should never be attempted by anyone, especially if you have a considerable addiction as I did.

I was awake for three months straight. Not one second of sleep did I get that entire time. That alone can result in death, and that was the least of the withdrawal symptoms that I endured.

Personally, I think the term “psychological addiction” is just an excuse created for those who do not have the will power to do what must be done. It purpose is to make them feel okay about not having a degree of self control, so they blame it on an addiction that does not actually exist, they just think it does.

It's not. There is no withdrawal from pot.
