She sounds like she's hurting over the loss of her sister which is understandable.
I'd say its a little early to get psychiatric help in just yet, you don't want to do anything rash that'll betray her trust and confidence in you thereby isolating her even further.
However, should she make any attempt on her own life or turn violent I would strongly recommend you seek professional help...

Agreed.
Until she gets to see a shrink,get her to a GP for some valium or something similar to calm her down. Go with if you can. The girl sounds as if she has severe anxiety.
IF you really think she is a danger to herself, ring the local hospital or your doctor to ask about getting her sectioned.

Suggestions?
She has entered mania. It's an attack, it generally goes on for a while, and then stops.
Just keep the lights open, give her some coffee to drink.
Don't close the lights, nor keep her close to places like drawers, or long corridors.
It might be great to open the TV, or let her spend some time on the computer.
You could play street fighter.

Lol, nothing says, "Hey welcome back to reality" like a pan of weed brownies. /sarcasm
Who knows though, maybe it will joggle her out of her funk. I'm betting you will end up with more trouble on your hands. Maybe just give her a small piece?

She was a normal person years ago when she was smoking weed. I'm using it to calm her down, and she knows I'm doing it, so it's not like I'm being sneaky. She just doesn't like the smoke. I'm hoping it will loosen her up a bit.

I'm guessing stimulants are exactly what she does not need.

That is the best advice I have heard beyond dropping her off at the hospital. Breakdowns can last for several months, but they typically pass. It doesn't sound like she is insane. It sounds like she is paranoid and has anxiety.
I recently did a huge project for a client involving studies for clinical uses of marijuana. Anxiety is a tricky one. Very few people react well to marijuana when they have anxiety. It definitely works for some, but I personally wouldn't use it as a treatment unless she was under observation.

Now, now, anxiety doesn't make you abnormal. Also, it tends to strike women in their 20s the hardest. Therefore, it sounds like it got to her, not that stopping weed changed her. Furthermore, tolerance for weed can change, particularly if a chemical imbalance arises.
Cannabinoids work through the body's endocannabinoid system, which is located throughout the entire body. There are even receptors in your digestive system. There are many active cannabinoids in your average weed stash. If one is more than the other and that one happens to be the one she reacts poorly to, you'll be up shit creek without a paddle. This is why medical cannabis dealers breed that shit. They can tell you what it contains and what it doesn't contain. Your garden variety dealer can just tell you how fucked up it will get you.
