Hello
Welcome to HCM.
The dependence to marijuana is mainly psychological and not physical. The bodily manifestations of marijuana withdrawl are usually treated symptomatically.
For irritability and mood swings, a mood stabiliser like divalproex can be taken.
For inability to sleep, ativan can be taken.
But i would advise you to visit a psychiatrist for de-addiction as the drugs mentioned above are prescription drugs.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
