Nothing of the sort happens with MJ, and its in fact the only "illicit" drug that this can be said for.
Even alcohol, if your an alcoholic will cause physical withdrawal symptoms. And no, your wrong about coke, if someone does it enough - they will suffer from the physical symptoms as well as the mental. All the MJ withdrawal's are in your head, and are a lot easier to overcome.
Personally, I may have a sort of craving after going a couple months - but its the same kind of craving you get for sex, chocolate or simply a hamburger. Nothing that can be described as "withdrawal". Its not like Nicotine where you body and mind both fiend for it, he is just wishing he had some - on this of all days.
