Im sorry but you are simply wrong. Yes, a heavily addicted abuser that goes cold turkey will experience psychosomatic "withdrawals" and often these symptoms of withdrawal are way more severe than drugs that actually yield a physical addiction.

Actually its your mind that gets used to the mind-altering effects that THC provides and when you are suddendly no longer having these mind-altering effects and you know fully why you are not, you will create the psychological effects yourself and experience 'withdrawals'.

Its purely psychological, its not physical. There have been an enormous amount of tests testing this, it was one of the major controversies when holland was legalising cannabis.

Ofcource its a correct statement. If a person can go to the same low from cannabis as they could from fx heroin, then its the person and the surroundings from where they obtain/use the drugs, not the drug in question.

And you need to stop being so focused on your term "self destructive" and realize that most damage done by abusers are damage done to their surroundings.

Take a look at countries where cannabis is (basically or entirely) as legal as alcohol. You are arguing against accepted medical fact, history and common sense.
