The symptoms of marijuana withdrawal are loss of appetite, anxiety, nervousness, and sleeping problems. It is not uncommon for a chronic user to say, “if I quit smoking pot, then I will have difficulty falling asleep at night”.

Marijuana in the 1960’s was approximately 1% THC (the chemical that produces intoxication), and 4% in the 1970’s. Because of technology, such as, hydroponics, plant cloning and sophisticated lighting systems, adolescent drug users in today’s society probably have rarely ever smoked marijuana that was
