Marijuana brings about physical effects such as dry mouth, minor eye redness, slight lack of coordination, and an augmented appetite. The predominant emotional experiences are often sensations of tranquility and contentment, although occasional episodes of depression can arise.


Elevated amounts can induce panic, a fear of mortality, and delusional states. In exceptional instances, drug-induced psychosis can manifest, marked by symptoms like paranoid delusions and confusion. Typically, these symptoms resolve within a few days.


Mounting evidence suggests that consistent marijuana consumption can exacerbate mental health issues, particularly depression and schizophrenia, particularly in those already grappling with these conditions. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to these risks. Furthermore, habitual marijuana smoking might lead to more severe lung impairment compared to tobacco; it’s believed that the impact of three joints (marijuana cigarettes) is akin to that of 20 tobacco cigarettes.
