Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in the U.S. and its use is growing. Marijuana use among all adult age groups, both sexes, and pregnant women is going up. At the same time, the perception of how harmful marijuana use can be is declining. Increasingly, young people today do not consider marijuana use a risky behavior.

 

Brain Health: Marijuana can cause permanent IQ loss of as much as 8 points when people start using it at a young age.  These IQ points do not come back, even after quitting marijuana.

 

Mental Health: Studies link marijuana use to depression, anxiety, suicide planning and psychotic episodes.  It is not known, however, if marijuana use is the cause of these conditions.

 

Athletic Performance: Research shows that marijuana affects timing, movement, and coordination, which can harm athletic performance.
