Marijuana Withdrawal Syndrome: A Bibliography

The idea of marijuana addiction and withdrawal remains controversial in both private and scientific circles. For an unlucky few, a well-identified set of symptoms characterizes abstinence from heavy, daily use of pot. In this respect, marijuana addiction and withdrawal does not differ greatly from alcoholism--the vast majority of recreational users and drinkers will never experience it.

Since discussions of this topic frequently veer off into sociopolitical arguments, leaving the science behind, I offer a sampling of the growing medical and psychiatric literature on this aspect of drug use and abuse.
