There is no such thing as withdrawal from the use of marijuana.
Withdrawal is generally thought of as severe physiological and psychological consequences from the sudden cessation of the input of the drug to the body, such as alcohol, caffeine, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and other clearly addictive substances. THC (tetrahydracarbanol) in the body metabolizes so slowly, that the person generally is not aware of the decrease in the active substances in the body. It is stored in the fat cells, and in the bladder.
Its metabolites can be detected in the urine for as long as six weeks; in the blood, two months, to two and one half months.
There can be a craving for the sensations induced by the use of marijuana which may result in efforts to obtain the drug; however, that is not to be confused with the distinct physiological addiction clearly identified with relatively certain physiological symptoms and more or less universal behaviors and sensations.
ANOTHER ANSWER
It's not flippant. Don't hang around people who use the drug.
Marijuana has both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms. Compared to other drugs, the physical withdrawal symptoms are more minor. Please see related questions for more details.
Marijuana is not physically addictive, so, there are no physical withdrawal symptoms. Marijuana does in fact for many people have withdrawal symptoms. Anxiety, headaches, and anger are just a few of the symptoms. I have witnessed children getting high from second hand marijuana smoke pets also. Marijuana has increased in potency over the last 10 years. I know I have smoked it most of my life. I am 42 days clean and have first hand knowledge of physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms. I would not have non smokers exposed to second hand marijuana smoke.

These symptoms may not be severe or dangerous, but they can be unpleasant. The longer you used marijuana, the more likely you are to experience withdrawal symptoms.
Marijuana withdrawal differs from person to person and depends much on the psychological dependence of the person. Like quitting nicotine, the first day is relatively undifficult, but the withdrawal symptoms generally peak around the 3rd day and then decline from there. Physically, the THC stays in a person's fat cells for several months, although withdrawal symptoms should have long faded by then.

The arguments for marijuana being physically addictive are very weak at best. The more probable explanation is that people can become psychologically addicted and think they need it. Unlike physical addiction, marijuana has no "come down" or withdrawal symptoms.
