Having smoked cannabis for over two decades, I can certainly tell you there were times where I smoked a lot tougher then I do these days.

Back when I was at my peak usage, I tried to quit by going cold turkey. I went through periods where I would wake up in cold sweats. While I didn't have gnawing urges like an alcoholic, I definitely had some physical withdrawal symptoms that weren't super pleasant.
