Of these, 2613 had been frequent cannabis users (>= 3 times/week), and a "cannabis-only" subset (N = 1119) never binge-drank or used other drugs 3 times/week.Results: In the full sample and subset, 44.3% (SE = 1.19) and 44.2% (SE = 1.75), respectively, experienced ! 2 cannabis withdrawal symptoms, while 34.4% (SE = 1.21) and 34.1% (SE = 1.76), respectively, experienced ! 3 symptoms. The symptoms formed 2 factors, one characterized by weakness, hypersomnia, and psychomotor retardation and the second by anxiety, restlessness, depression, and insomnia. Both symptom types were associated with significant distress/impairment (p < .01), substance use to relieve/avoid cannabis withdrawal symptoms (p < .01), and quantity of cannabis use (among the cannabis-only users p < .05). Panic (p < .01) and personality (p
