If you are genetically prone to a psychotic condition(like schizophrenia) the use of cannabis makes the condition 1000%(Serious, IE: 10 times more likely) more likely to manifest.
While the use of cannabis won't damage an otherwise healthy brain it does cause an extra thick layer of mucus surrounding the brain, this insulates the brain, effectively making it harder for electrical nerve impulses to travel in & out of the brain & between different parts of the brain, this, in time, will permenantly affect judgement, motor skills, co-ordination & memory etc.
Contrary to popular beliefe smoking cannabis does cause all the same negative health effects as smoking tobacco, inhaling any kind of smoke whatsoever is going to do you damage, an uncommon & little known way to use cannabis is to boil the leaves, stem, buds & all in water & drink the water as a tea(this avoids the negative effects of smoking it) & it's at its most potent when used this way.
