> Marijuana is not physically addictive. That was and is also the reasonable claim made by reasonable people.
That's not true at all. Heavy marijuana dependency and withdrawals definitely produce physical withdrawal effects.
They're not equivalent to, say, alcohol withdrawal, but they will exist.
There's actually a lot of research into various adjunct medications to dampen the physical withdrawal to help addicted marijuana users quit.
But regardless, if you have to qualify the type of addiction, you're not escaping the fact that something is addictive. Too many people have used this false physical/psychological dichotomy to talk themselves into marijuana dependencies, psychological or otherwise.
