Symptoms of Caffeine Overdose and Caffeine Withdrawal
Effects of Too Much or Too Little
Caffeine is a substance which occurs naturally in several plants or can be chemically synthesized. It is found in relatively high doses in coffee, some soft drinks (e.g., cola), and a variety of medications. It is also found in lesser amounts in tea and chocolate. Three cups of coffee is considered a moderate dose of caffeine for an adult. However, you can best gauge whether or not you are getting too much caffeine by being on the lookout for symptoms of caffeine overdose. If you are trying to cut back on caffeine, you may start experiencing withdrawal symptoms within 12 hours after stopping your intake. Withdrawal symptoms are at their worst 24-48 hours after the last cup of coffee (or other caffeine-containing substance), but can last for a week. For this reason, it's usually better to cut back on caffeine slowly over the space of several days.

That's an interesting statement that left me wondering how, in this respect, marijuana differs from religion, being in love, jogging or any activity a person might take up with enthusiasm.
It may just be me but the statement seems engineered to avoid the concept of physically or medically or simply, actually addicted.
Mandatory disclaimer, the only drug I use is coffee, no marijuana, no alcohol and nothing else
"Marijuana is both emotionally and mentally addictive. Once an individual becomes addicted to marijuana it develops into part of who they believe themselves to be."
i see the same symptoms with religion...what's your point?

that site is pretty interesting for someone who never used marijuanna or did, i found some negative effects that were actually true, but until the part where they are talking about man getting bigger tits or lacking sexual desires on the long term effects...everything to scare people...typical to the american way to educate their people, fortunately it's not everybody who's dumb enough to believe these!
also that site seems to have multiple source to their information, some are even in contradicton with each other...
