This article focuses upon the effects of cannabis on the human body. Cannabis is considered a psychoactive drug, and its effects on the brain are mediated through cannabinoids, most notably tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). In five European countries, thirteen US states, and other places around the world, medical cannabis is prescribed for nausea, pain, and alleviation of symptoms surrounding chronic illness.

Acute effects while under the influence can include euphoria, anxiety, temporary short-term memory loss, and circulation effects which may increase risks of heart attacks and strokes. However, chronic use is not associated with some cardiovascular risk factors such as blood triglyceride levels and blood pressure, as indicated in a longitudinal study. The evidence of long-term effects on memory is preliminary and hindered by confounding factors. Concerns have been raised about the potential for long-term cannabis consumption to increase risk for schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and major depression, but the ultimate conclusions on these factors are disputed.
