Cannabis Withdrawal

1. This accompanies cessation of cannabis use that has been heavy and prolonged (i.e., usually daily or almost daily use over a period of at least a few months). Three or more of the following signs and symptoms develop within approximately 1 week after cessation of heavy, prolonged use:
2. Irritability, anger, or aggression
3. Nervousness or anxiety
4. Sleep difficulty (i.e., insomnia, disturbing dreams)
5. Decreased appetite or weight loss
6. Restlessness
7. Depressed mood
8. At least one of the following physical symptoms causing significant discomfort: abdominal pain, shakiness/tremors, sweating, fever, chills, or a headache.
9. The signs or symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
10. The signs or symptoms are not attributable to another medical condition and are not better explained by another mental disorder, including intoxication or withdrawal from another substance.

Cannabis-induced Psychotic Disorder

1. Presence of delusions or hallucinations.
2. Evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings of either one of the following:
3. The symptoms in the first criterion developed during or soon after cannabis intoxication or withdrawal.
4. The disturbance is not accounted for by a psychotic disorder that is not substance-induced.
5. Evidence that the symptoms are accounted for by a psychotic disorder that is not substance induced might include the following:
6. The symptoms precede the onset of substance use (or medication use).
7. The symptoms persist for a substantial period (e.g., about a month) after the cessation of acute withdrawal or severe intoxication or are substantially more than what would be expected, given the type or amount of the substance used or the duration of use.
8. Other evidence suggests the existence of an independent nonsubstance-induced psychotic disorder (e.g., a history of recurrent nonsubstance-related episodes).
9. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during delirium.
10. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning.

Cannabis-induced Anxiety Disorder

1. Panic attacks or anxiety predominate in the clinical picture.
2. Evidence from the history, physical examination, or laboratory findings of either of the following:
3. The symptoms in the first criterion developed during or soon after substance intoxication or withdrawal.
4. The disturbance is not better accounted for by an anxiety disorder that is not substance-induced. Evidence that the symptoms are better accounted for by an anxiety disorder that is not substance induced might include the following:
5. The symptoms precede the onset of substance use.
6. The symptoms persist for a substantial period (e.g., about a month) after cessation of acute withdrawal or severe intoxication or are substantially more than expected given the type or amount of the substance used or the duration of use.
7. Other evidence suggests the existence of an independent nonsubstance-induced anxiety disorder (e.g., a history of recurrent nonsubstance-related episodes).
8. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during delirium.
9. The disturbance causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.

What a silly statement. There are millions of people who could stop drinking alcohol or smoking if their job was on the line. By your logic it means they're not addictive.

I know plenty of people who smoked for years and then just quit cold turkey without incident. The idea that this means smoking isn't addictive is crazy talk and just expresses a lack of understanding of how ancedotal evidence works.

Again:

Id have a far harder time quitting booze. I probably wouldn't be able to do it quick enough if they drew that hard line.

Hell we had one guy go out of work on rehab cause he knew they where starting to look at him sideways. He ended up resigning but he coulda kept his job. Can't get fired if you seek help before they bust you. But he stayed in rehab forever before finally calling it quits on the job.

Sucks for him but I'm glad he quit. Aside from being a royal pain in the ass he was typing up a spot at work that couldn't be filled since he was protected and work had to hold his spot. We are short enough as is.

In the end the drugs won. And he woulda faced felony charges too if he got caught. It's a felony to bring shit into work and he was getting high on the job

What a person smokes I don't really mind, since it is our decision in what goes into our body and no one else.

However the problem with smoking being allowed in public place is that they are making others breathing in their smoke, which as we know is harmful and inconvenience.
There is no law to prevent that from happening, especially when in the beach or eating in a restaurant outdoor. People can go near you and smoke, regardless if they don't want to breathe cigarette smoke.

If I am not mistake thanks to banning smoking indoor, there has been less people getting heart attack and stroke.

Should be legal.

But don't pretend there aren't consequences if you put it in your body

That is really too much food, the ingredients are not healthy and full of fat, saturated fat and fat. If it has a lot of salt, that is also bad.

The consequence only happens to the one eating it and no one else, if we just watch him eat, then nothing happens to us. I don't believe we get harmed in anyway.

However what should be illegal is naming a product something, when it is fake. Like an example Guacamole with a picture of a avocado, when there is no avocado, but instead avocado powder 0.5%. How is that legal.

Apple juice with a picture of a apple, that has only 5% apple.
