Question

Which of the following is an accurate statement concerning marijuana use and abuse? A. Paranoia and hallucinations can occur. B. Marijuana is free of carcinogens C. Psychological dependence can occur with even occasional use. D. Tolerance develops rapidly.

Answer 1

The best answer would be (A) Paranoia and hallucinations can occur.

Researchers have found that people who smoke marijuana are more likely to have hallucinatory experiences and paranoid feelings than those who don’t. This is due to a psychoactive ingredient in marijuana called THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which influences a person’s cognition to exhibit these behaviors.
