Yes, marijuana withdrawal is real.

Marijuana / Cannabis
Cannabis use disorder is recognized in the DSM-5. If you've tried to stop and couldn't, you deserve clinical help — without being told you don't have a "real" problem.
You're asking the question, which is usually the first signal. The clinical criteria look at whether use is interfering with work, relationships, mental health, or sleep — and whether you've tried to stop and couldn't.
A medical assessment, then a calm, low-stimulus environment to let the acute symptoms pass. Sleep support is the most common ask. Optional therapy if you want it.
Mostly: you don't have to white-knuckle through irritability and insomnia while still going to work. The reset is the point.
