Only cites 3 studies after 3 years as an article - questionable notability. petrarchan47tc 07:03, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Could this be merged back to Effects of cannabis, as it comprises only a small section? petrarchan47tc 07:46, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
KeepMerge – 17 WP:MEDRS compliant review articles that mention "cannabis withdrawal" have been published so the subject is clearly notable. Boghog (talk) 07:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Comment – No objection to merger. Could be split out again as a seperate article if it is included as a diagnoses in DSM-5 which is due to be published sometime this year. Boghog (talk) 15:16, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and clean up. The three main references (Kouri, Budney 2003 & Budney 2001) are all primary sources and therefore unsuitable as references for a Wikipedia medical article. In PubMed, most of the journal articles describing cannabis withdrawal do so in the context of cannabis dependence. However there are a couple of suitable sources listed. I shall try to improve the article. Axl ¤ [Talk] 23:22, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: I'm wondering why Wikipedia has an article for Cannabis withdrawal and Cannabis addiction, when Heroin has neither related page, but is deadly and pervasive. Cannabis is less addicting than caffeine - are we perhaps missing a bigger picture here at Wikipedia? Could there be an issue of WP:UNDUE with regard to these articles? petrarchan47tc 02:47, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Please see WP:WAX. Also, the article "Opioid dependence", to which "Heroin withdrawal" redirects, is relatively short, while "Cannabis dependence" is rather long. There is no article for "Cannabis addiction". Perhaps you mean "Cannabis dependence"? Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:01, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that is what I meant. petrarchan47tc 21:27, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
