Lemmy, how bad for an individual can consuming cannabis be? (lemmy.ml)

I’m talking about any thing that can be produced from cannabis of any strain, not laced and not something that’s glycol-based or a dry-plant vaporizer; and consumed via inhalation of it’s smoke or digestion (ex: edibles). Not discussing the legality of it or any other unnecessary nuances, just the benefits and harm of it. Studies are extremely encouraged btw. =p

Ye, it should always be clarified that while there is no physical / chemical addition, physiological addictions can also be detrimental and hard to break and WILL have negative side affects.

A litmus test I ask, is if someone consumes a lot of something that provides an easy dopamine hit (games, processed sugars, alcohol, etc) and if so warn them them to track their intake and take regular breaks (currently on one myself).
