Solowiji
et al., 1991: (When given a task involving listening for sounds) "...Cannabis users' task performance was significantly worse than controls"
Wayne, 2001: "The most probable harms caused by cannabis use include: an increased risk of motor vehicle accidents; respiratory disease; dependence; adverse effects on adolescent development; and the exacerbation of psychosis."
Chuan-Yu, 2005: "...that cannabis dependence is more likely to occur when use begins during adolescence, and that the cannabis dependence syndrome includes a number of heritable untoward psychiatric side effects including withdrawal."
<- Some people are more likely to become dependent on cannabis than others.
Cousjin
et al., 2012: Smoking weed affects brain structure, both long term and short-term.
Buckner
et al., 2012: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) is a symptom of cannabis withdrawal.
