There are cases out there folks, everyone is different. Just like the plants themselves,

I began using Marijuana in the mid 70's and subtract the higher estimate of when I quit, 10 years ago, that would be roughly 33 years of use.
I believe that qualifies as long term use!

To my knowledge there are no physical withdrawal symptoms attributed Marijuana use, or the lack of. If you know of some documented cases please enlighten me.

Along with the treatment for addiction I have received over the years, I have also had psychological treatment. I have seen people with sever psychological problems attributed to smoking marijuana that was laced with another substance.
Underlying psychological problems could manifest themselves as a result of using marijuana, I guess, most certainly if it were laced with another substance.

If you are worried about addiction to Medical Marijuana, I suggest not using it.
There are other treatments available, but some have far worst sideffects. :hippy:
