Answer:

There are a list of things...

Step-by-step explanation:

Marijuana is not a harmful thing to a person's brain when their brain is fully developed usually above the age of 21. Short term effects can be the high you get from it, the munchies (some people get extra hungry), mood changes (good or bad), thoughts about things you may not be interested in but its a play on the way you think. Long term effects aren't usually common in adults or those of age to have marijuana but the long term effects come from minors or people under the age of 21 that use it, marijuana is not bad for your health in any way however it can weaken the lungs from the inhalation of an unknown substance. In minors some things you'll notice are memory problems, attention difficulties, these can affect academics or work that may be happening. Minors who use marijuana are more common to have bad mood changes where they lash out or do hurtful things to themselves or others because the brain isn't developed enough to react to what is happening.
