Impairment: Cannabis can impair judgment, coordination, and memory, which can increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

Legal issues: Cannabis is illegal in some states and countries, and possession or use can result in legal consequences.

Health risks: Cannabis can have negative effects on mental health, including increasing the risk of psychosis and worsening symptoms of conditions such as schizophrenia. It can also have negative effects on lung health and increase the risk of respiratory problems.
