Many people develop an anxiety disorder after abusing marijuana for a long time. Sweating, hot flushes, lightheadedness, sleeplessness, abdominal discomfort etc can all be due to anxiety. You may benefit with treatment from medicines of the SSRI class like sertraline, escitalopram etc. Please consult a doctor and start medication if the diagnosis of an anxiety disorder is confirmed. Also try to quit or at least cut down on marijuana as much as possible.
Hope this is of help. Best wishes.
