Among adolescents, even occasional marijuana use may cause psychological damage. During intoxication, marijuana users become irrational and often behave erratically. |

Comments (2)So this could be a myth? I also read different side effect of marijuana. And I also hear that it can also cure insomnia so how come it can cause permanent mental illness. Well if its a myth then marijuana won't be harmful for us.
So taking marijuana could be dangerous? So how come they call it herbal medicine if it can cause serious problem? If it can cause mental illness so it won't be consider as medicinal herb.
nope, there is no scientific evidence that marijuana can cause mental illness to either teenagers or adults. yes, there may be feelings of anxiety, paranoia or panic attack and these are all true. but this effects are just temporary.
scientifically explaination marijuana can cause Hallucinations, Delusions, Impaired memory, Disorientation. if you take it very often the effect won't be temporary.
marijuana can be harmful in many different ways. it can damage your health over time. true enough, it is not yet known whether the use of marijuana relates to mental illness. but still it affects brain and leads to impaired short-term memory.
so you mean marijuana could still affects brain and leads to STM. i was wondering if it will last forever? it was scary though. so how can you be sure that treating using marijuana was a safe way to do. knowing it can cause STM.
