Extended heavy marijuana abuse has also been associated with cognitive setbacks, upper respiratory infections, impaired immune system, heart problems, and an increased risk for certain cancers. The impact of marijuana-related damage to a person’s physical and psychological well-being, and the negative outcomes that result from this damage, can lead to depression, decreased self-esteem, social withdrawal, and isolation.
