Marijuana is a soft drug like caffeine. For some people, caffeine is not a safe drug because they become addicted and have heart palpitations and lower quality of sleep. Marijuana is not safe in that it disrupts brain development in adolescents, exasperates psychosis with those who have mental health issues like schizophrenia, and lowers IQ with heavy daily usage. Moderation is key.

caffeine can also trigger anxiety[0]. i only know because that was happening to me -- i had constant anxiety attacks early in the morning, after my morning coffee. only after i stopped i realize how detrimental caffeine became to me.
