Which of the following effects is commonly associated with cannabis use?

Cannabis use is commonly associated with relaxed inhibitions, which is often a result of its psychoactive properties, primarily due to the substance known as THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). When people consume cannabis, they frequently experience alterations in mood and perception, leading to a sense of euphoria and lower inhibitions. This can manifest in behaviors such as increased sociability, laughter, or a greater willingness to engage in activities and conversations that they might avoid while sober. The relaxing of inhibitions is one reason why cannabis is often used in social settings.

While other effects such as cardiac arrhythmia or psychotic episodes can occur in specific contexts or among certain individuals, they are not typical for the general population using cannabis. Decreased appetite is also an effect linked to some strains or contexts of cannabis use, but more commonly, many users report an increase in appetite—a phenomenon colloquially referred to as "the munchies." Therefore, relaxed inhibitions stands out as a prevailing and widespread effect associated with cannabis use.
