question 4 of 6
cannabis use ________.
○ can harm mental health in the long term.
○ affects the body and brain only in the long term.
○ has been shown to help depression and anxiety.
○ does not have any health benefits at all, both short- and long-term.

Explanation:

• Option 1: Research shows long - term cannabis use is linked to mental health issues like psychosis, anxiety, and depression.
• Option 2: Cannabis affects the body and brain in the short - term too (e.g., impaired coordination immediately after use), so this is wrong.
• Option 3: Most evidence doesn't support cannabis helping depression/anxiety; it can worsen them, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: Some studies suggest potential medical benefits (e.g., for pain in some cases), so saying no health benefits at all is wrong.

Answer:

A. can harm mental health in the long term.
