“Your source, please?”

Do a search on marijuana withdrawl symptoms. You can find all kinds of testimony from chronic users who have experienced insomnia, irritability, cold sweats, panic attacks, hot flashes, etc, after stopping their use. Typically seen in people who use it daily over an extended period.

Don’t get me wrong, I think MJ is a fairly harmless diversion for most people, and its continuing illegality has probably done more harm than good, but denying that it has some negative effects is not realistic, either.

I know all about marijuana, YYZ. Used to be a heavy smoker myself, as did by buddies. None of us who quit experienced physical withdrawal symptoms, and what’s more, the studies overwhelmingly indicate, in concert with our experience, that the drug is psychologically addictive only.

But you made the claim, so the burden of proof is yours, not mine: what scholarly source indicates that marijuana is physically addictive?
