Pure, unadulterated b.s.

Between quitting drinking, quitting pot smoking, and quitting smoking cigarettes, cigarettes were the hardest by far. Alcohol was next and pot was a simple matter of saying no thanks.

This is laughable. As someone who knows, there is no comparison.

Not in my experience and I smoked it with regularity. I just stopped and...nothing whatever happened. Nothing. Anecdotal evidence, to be sure, but it’s a fact. Never even tempted to go back.

based on self reporting in a recent study of 12 heavy users of both marijuana and cigarettes.

Self reporting = people fudging their facts. They may not mean to but they do. So this study was doomed from the start.

And 12 users? Any study of less then 1500 is badly flawed because of the statistical noise.

In addition, six of the participants reported that quitting both marijuana and tobacco at the same time was more difficult than quitting either drug alone, whereas the remaining six found that it was easier to quit marijuana or cigarettes individually than it was to abstain from the two substances simultaneously.

Read that carefully. Quality stuff, that research.

Abstinence from each of these drugs appears to cause several common symptoms, such as irritability, anger...

Even without abstinence, most of the smokers on FR seem irritable and angry.
