No, marijuana use, even heavy over several years has little psychological effect, although depending on the "set and setting" of the user, anxiety attacks sometimes, but very rarely occur. Studies also show that marijuana may be beneficial for mental health or learning disorders in the case of ADHD and manic-depressive disorder. Although cannabis dependency and withdrawal are present, and unlikely, it is possible that the withdrawal symptoms include mild depression, anxiety and insomnia. However, it has been correlated that marijuana use is linked to schizophrenia and psychosis and most "cannabis psychosis" cases are diagnosed at a rate of 100 people a year in each country throughout Western Europe and North America. Many however, believe that there is a difference between correlation and causation, and that mental health patients use marijuana for medicinal use or to escape their mental and emotional states. It still remains unclear however, where cannabis is placed on causing mental health problems.
