Way back when I was a regular hippy-dippy pot smoker, I would occasionally mention that I wondered what this stuff did long term. I was reassured by my friends that pot was positively good for you, that it 'cleared out the lungs', left nothing behind in your body, and essentially had no effect at all. This made very little sense to me, since the whole point of pot was that it 'had an effect' and even if it were true that the pot itself did nothing to one's lungs, what about the paper it was (often) wrapped in? My first experience with the illogic of the committed, I guess.
I think your study fails to distinguish physical and mental addiction. There are no physical withdrawal effects from quitting, even after smoking regularly for years, other than lucid dreams and maybe a mild headache. But lots of people are psychologically addicted (which isn't necessarily any better).
