accuracy of the daily factoid
Quote:
Daily Factoid: Marijuana produces no withdrawal symptoms no matter how heavy it is used. It is habit forming (psychologically addictive), but not physically addictive.
I would sure like to see where you got that daily factoid.
In my cats experience there are some mild withdrawal symptoms when abstaining after heavy use (smoked) and apparently my cat is not the only one.
Quote:
Addiction Potential:
Regular use of cannabis can lead to psychological habituation for some people making it difficult for them to quit. Studies have estimated that between 5 and 10% of those who try smoking cannabis will become daily users sometime during their life, but most of these smokers will have given up the habit by age 30 and few remain daily smokers after age 40. Most people do not experience signs of physical addiction, but with regular daily use use, mild to medium withdrawal symptoms usually occur for less than a week, but can extend for as long as 6 weeks.
