nothing it is perfectly safe

ANSWER

Cannabis is not "perfectly" safe, nor is is certainly dangerous. No one is completely certain of its full effects the chemical function of the brain is not fully elucidated, nor are the complete effects of cannabis on this complex system. What is known is that the active ingredient, THC, effects cannabinoid mediated neurotransmission in the brain on binding to CB1 receptors. Binding to these receptors causes a reduction in the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA in decreasing its release. CB1 is the most widely identified receptor in the adult brain.
