      He didn’t say no withdrawal symptoms, but in any event, that’s not relevant. Caffeine and nicotine both have withdrawal symptoms comparable in severity. Now if you want to discuss withdrawal from benzodiazepines or alcohol there is a lot of work there. Why aren’t they scheduled as aggressively? Because of the medical applications and from appetite stimulation in oncology patients to ptsd, marijuana has justifiable benefits.
