How to help someone going through withdrawal?
A close friend of mine is going through marijuana withdrawal. Although there are mixed feelings whether marijuana withdrawal exists or not, I do see some changes. He’s clearly more irritable, angry, nervous, losing sleep, etc. I’m very close to him and I know this is a personal thing he will have to do on his own. But I’d like to know how to support him. I tend to take his irritability personal. Please help if you can, thanks.

Dont take it personal, just keep reminding yourself it is for a better cause, Find him someting to do when he feels he is loosing it or feels the urge… like a release mechansim …EX: running, work out, something that takes his anger and puts it to good use Just dont do a stessful task it will only anger him more….
