Apparently, cannabis smoking has been linked to multiple cerebellar infarcts (stroke in the cerebellum) in otherwise healthy adolescent males. Some cases resulted in death.

It might not be the cannabis itself, but the route of administration that damages the cerebellum, since smoking (combustion) produces many toxic substances that could inflict injury in this part of the brain.
Smoking is a dirty delivery mechanism for THC and other cannabinoids.
However, THC does bind to sites in the cerebellum, thus interfering with visual tracking and affecting balance and coordination.
