So, no, it wont help. Any withdrawal symptoms someone would experience after stopping marijuana would be 100% emotional, not physical. The oxazepam is to help your body adjust to the lack of the chemicals in the drugs. There is no physical adjustment for marijuana, because the body was never chemically addicted to begin with.

Marijuana is fat soluble. Alchohol is a stimulant, marijuana is a mild hallucinogen. Since they are so different, most likely not. There are no marijuana "withdrawal" symptoms anyway - marijuana is not chemically addictive; marijuana "addictions" are psychological. People do it a lot because they enjoy it and/or they have addictive personalities in general. Stopping isn't going to hurt them. Alchohol is water soluble. Marijuana is fat soluble.

Benzodiazepenes would have zero effect on any potential symptoms anyway because they act at different receptor sites (the same ones that alcohol acts on). While withdrawal from many drugs can be exceedingly unpleasant, the only drugs (amongst the commonly abused ones) where the WITHDRAWAL process itself can result in death are alcohol, benzodiazepenes, and barbituates. All of those drugs act on GABA recceptors in the brain, and amongst them, benzos are the most controllable, which is why a benzo taper is used medically to control the symptoms.
