What's the worst thing it can do? It's mostly limited to temporary psychotic issues right?

There's some research indicating it can also affect fertility and sperm quality, at least while it's in your system

Damn, i hope that isn't going to interfere with all the micro plastics floating around in my balls

Correct, except not just temporary if you are genetically predisposed to psychotic disorders. As I recall there was also some research that suggested early onset cannabis use was causally related to psychotic disorders regardless of genetic propensity for psychotic disorders.

Currently on mobile and cruising for sources is a drag; I will do my best to remember to cite some when I get home.

Anecdotally, I’ve known at least three people who have experienced cannabis induced psychosis. All three had a first or second degree family member with a diagnosed psychotic disorder, were males who began cannabis use in their early-mid teens, and had ACE scores of 4+. While this is not the mean cannabis user, it’s surely cause for concern.

There's some evidence to suggest that in people hereditarily predisposed to schizophrenia it can hasten/worsen onset of symptoms, but for the overwhelming majority of humans there's no risk of anything more than temporary confusion & anxiety
