I've already posted pages and pages of sources, but since you're apparently too apathetic to find it, I'll find some new ones and proceed to refute your position from scratch. I don't mind, I love a challenge--although I don't know if that'd be the right word to use:
Marijuana Information from Drugs.com
Oh I'm sorry, what were you babbling about in regard to marijuana not causing all the above side-effects? Needless to say, those biased fallacies you were throwing out on the table--the ones in which you completely downplayed the very harmful side-effects of marijuana use and cessation--were completely refuted by that one source. But, since I'm enjoying this, here's another:
BBC | Health: News In Brief
I don't even know where the hell you got this idea:
With evidence (note-- evidence) I debunked that absurd opinionated theory, and I strengthened the case against marijuana by providing even more insight into studies showing that marijuana cessation can lead to unnecessary and spontaneous aggression as well.
Start reading the facts instead of ignoring them. When you overlook sources posted by the opposition, strawman opposing arguments, and repeat your own biased opinions, it accomplishes nothing for your position in such a debate as this.

Great sources you provided. The first is from the Drug industry which has a long standing anti-marijuana bias (they can't make a profit from something you can grow at home) and then one from the official news agency of the British Government.
Do you have any independent studies that support the allegations being made by these sources?
Have you ever considered that naturally aggressive people might be more mellow (less aggressive) when they smoke pot and then when they don't smoke pot they become aggressive? DUH!!!
Please provide independent sources and not industry and government sources which are highly suspect of bias. They generally start with a conclusion and then build a case to support their preconcieved ideas.
How about a real report on the medical benefits of marijuana?
