A member asked:
Why do they say marijuana does not lead to addiction if i quit and now i am very depressed and cranky?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"they're" wrong: Mj certainly causes dependence. It just takes a long time for symptoms to appear since mj has a 4 week half life. Most common withdrawal symptoms are depression, irritability, anger, frustration intolerance, and oppositionality. If you're having withdrawal from mj, see your doctor for help.
