  Those are also typical symptoms of people forcing a change in habits. An acute change if you will.

  Imagine someone who works remotely - when they’re informed they now have to do a 2 hour car commute everyday for no reason other than to see the boss even if it means less productivity.

  Those symptoms seem like a fairly normal response.

  The article you linked mentions it isn’t a recognized syndrome.

  PAWS is no joke, though.

  While post-acute withdrawal syndrome has been reported by those in the recovery community, there have been few scientific studies supporting its existence outside of protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal.[8] [9] Because of this, the disorder is not recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders[10] or major medical associations.

  Maybe not a joke, but it doesn’t sound like it’s taken very seriously

  That Wikipedia article has zero mentions of cannabis.
