      Cannabis interacts with the way your brain works. The full effects aren’t really known, but it can cause long term damage to the way your brain functions and sends messages to itself. Even if it isn’t immediately noticible, it can effect your short term memory, and make you more forgetful, and less responsive. There are also links to schizophrenia and other mental illness.
