I'm one of the very few (it seems) who disagree with it. There's so many side effects...
Quote:
Cannabis can cause feelings of anxiety, suspicion, panic and paranoia.
For people with illnesses such as schizophrenia, cannabis can cause a serious relapse.
Regular cannabis use is known to be associated with an increase in the risk of later developing psychotic illnesses including schizophrenia; and if you have a family background of mental illness, you may also have an increased risk.
Cannabis can affect the way the brain works. Regular, heavy use makes it difficult to learn and concentrate and research has linked cannabis use to poor exam results.
It can increase the heart rate and affect blood pressure, which can be especially harmful for those with heart disease.
It is reported that frequent use of cannabis may affect fertility. It can cut a man's sperm count and can suppress ovulation in women.
If you’re pregnant, smoking cannabis may increase the risk of your baby being born smaller than expected. (Kinda obvious that one...)
