JF - Science Insights JA - Sci Insights VL - 32 IS - 3 SE - Review DO - 10.15354/si.20.re051 UR - https://bonoi.org/index.php/si/article/view/106 SP - 133-137 AB - <p>With the legalization of recreational marijuana, the concerns about its potential negative impact on abusers’ cognitive and mental health have not been being discussed thoroughly. Driven by commercial interests, many marijuana-related scientific research results have not been well considered in the policy making process. When people subconsciously indulge in something that is already notorious, they avoid it and overemphasize what seems good, while using illogical analogies to obliterate the disadvantages. We herein will objectively review the potential short- and long-term effects of marijuana, so as to sound the alarm for the legal use of marijuana.</p> ER -
