Which description best captures the typical marijuana effects?

• A. Euphoria and sense of relaxation, with possible paranoia and anxiety
• B. Hallucinations exclusively
• C. Insomnia only
• D. No effects

Answer: (A)

Marijuana’s typical effects center on mood and perception. Many users feel euphoria and relaxation, sometimes with enhanced sensory experiences or a different sense of time. At the same time, anxiety or paranoia can occur, particularly with higher doses or strong strains. Hallucinations are not a common or expected effect for standard cannabis use, though some perceptual changes can happen. Saying it causes insomnia only misses the broader picture, since sleep effects vary and aren’t limited to causing insomnia. Saying there are no effects is incorrect because users usually notice clear changes in mood, perception, coordination, and thinking.
