Can Marihuana Addiction Cause Excessive Sleep?

My brother-in-law lives with us and he has episodes of sleeping 2 days and really being out of it . He smokes Medical Cannabis and I m sure addicted. Could this be an episode from too much THC? I ve read the effects but none mention checking out for days at a time and then when he does wake up he is very disoriented and doesn t remember the past week or so.

Marijuana is a sedative for most people that is highly dependent on dose. It can cause a lot of sleeping.
