hplabs!piety claims that marihauna and cocaine are only
psychologically addicting and not physically addicting.
That is not true I have several sources from pharmacology textbooks
and journals that discuss the various symptoms of physical
addiction to cocaine and marihauna.  In fact
Goodman and Gilman's A Pharmacolgical Basis of Therapeutics, the
pharmacology textbook used at most American medical schools states
that people have died from withdrawal from cocaine.
