Why do people become very very mean after they quit smoking

Everyone around me smokes. Family, friends, my friends parents. My mom doesn’t smoke but she loves those edibles.

2019 was this weird year where I found out the adults who advocated strongly against weed my entire life flipped and smoke it now. It’s legal now as long as you have a card which is extremely easy to get. No hate I mean I never thought these days would come. I’m for it🤷‍♀️ Shits weird because of i never thought it would ever happen. My MOM MAKES POT COOKIES WTF. My mom sent me to scared straight for smoking pot.. now making pot cookies. Okay.. to the point. I am just making a personal observation because I myself didn’t become mean after i quit smoking. I quit because i think I just outgrew it. It started giving me horrific anxiety so I just stopped. I can’t do it, idk why. Now if I was, im not aware of it. Of anything I felt relief because i finally admitted to myself that I couldn’t do it anymore.

People around me are stopping for different reasons. Orrr they are broke and can not afford it for a moment. And they become fucking jerks for at least 2 weeks afterwards. I notice it in my boyfriend, in my boss, in my friends, my coworkers. Like as soon as people say they’ve quit I’m like alright bye. Nope. I don’t get it. It’s like a switch flips. It’s not addictive so I don’t understand. I have had the worst few weeks because people around me stopped smoking pot and the tension everyone has makes me want a vacation. I’m the one who really wishes I could get high right now but that’s not even possible like I need a break from people.

Edit: I was not on an episode of scared straight. I was there but there was no TV crew. Scared straight is a real program and it goes on I think every week or something like that. The TV show travels from state to state to film one program happening in one prison at one time. ALTHOUGH, one of the girls who was on the TV show lives near by and I saw her in walmart and the way she looked at me told me she hadn’t changed one bit hahaha. They did go to the jail I went to, and I recognized one of the correctional officers.

Also they are not as extreme as they are on TV. Neither are the inmates. The female inmates looked at us as if we were babies and gave us stern but loving talks. The men were flirty and weird. But one guy did steal one of my shoes so that’s cool.
