Hi
I had gone through the question and understand your concern
Answer to your question is yes, marijuana does cause weight loss. It does so by reducing the appetite. The person does not feel like eating much and hence experiences extreme weight loss oveer the time.
According to me , you can ask him to join any group or meeting which can help him to stay away from the addiction , or if addiction is too much then you think of rehabilitation centre.
Hope this answer was of help
Thankyou.
