Essay:

Long-term marijuana use harms the body in multiple ways: it damages the respiratory system (causing chronic bronchitis, coughing, and increased lung infection risk), impairs memory, attention, and cognitive function, increases the risk of mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and psychosis (especially in young users), and may negatively impact heart health by raising blood pressure and heart rate.

Marijuana smoke contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, and long-term, heavy use is linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, particularly lung, head, and neck cancers, though research is still ongoing about the exact magnitude of risk.

Short-term effects include impaired coordination and judgment, altered perception, increased heart rate, dry mouth, and red eyes. Long-term effects include reduced lung function, persistent cognitive impairment, addiction (in about 9% of users, rising to 17% for those who start as teens), and potential fertility issues in both men and women.
