I have never heard of either of the symptoms you mention being associated with discontinuing the use of marijuana. We do know that caffeine is physically addictive and can cause extreme physical withdrawal symptoms such as severe headaches and even nausea.

It is basically accepted that marijuana is not physically addictive and no evidence has ever been presented that I am aware of that contradicts this.

There are many myths associated with marijuana usage that simple aren't true and have no support in the scientific community. Beliefs that it dulls the senses or reduces thought capabilities etc. are not founded in fact.
