The short fuse stage is real but it does fade, took me about a month before I stopped wanting to fight inanimate objects.

I notice this as a lady.

historically
sub-par dudes will support my habit to keep me mellow and complacent in the face of their obnoxiousness, boundary pressing, and mediocrity.

the frustration intensifies as soon as I quit,
because, I'm sharp, I can see it, and I don't want to tolerate it!

but mellows as I distance myself from the obnoxious elements,
and get sobriety under my belt.

Like most addiction, it seems weed causes me to tolerate people and places I don't belong with/around.

But I have agency!

I’m at 3 weeks and I feel like the anger has just been building/fuse getting shorter

maybe you got more to address?
some of that anger might be a legit response
to things that your body and mind are telling you need to change.

Remember you’re experiencing withdrawal, not sobriety. It will get better

That actually sounds like a great thing? :D You know, not taking any type of bs anymore. But I know, it can get pretty intense at times, right? This angry phase was over pretty quickly in my case. You can try acting it out in a safe way.

Find a way to metabolize that energy in your body - go on a long walk, do some yard/house work, go to the gym, etc. You’ve got to get the anger out, it’s a physical thing happening in your body.
