5. You can't compare pot withdrawl to any other kind of drug withdrawl

Pot withdrawal causes trouble falling asleep, problems with appetite and irritability. These are all processes that are controlled at least in part by cannabinoid receptors. Cocaine withdrawal can cause extreme depression, trying to get off meth often cause extreme paranoid hallucinations and heroin withdrawal can fucking kill you. The problems that occur while trying to stop using pot also don't last for more then a couple days. Most of the other illegal drugs can last for months.
