Correct Answer
D. Hallucinations
Explanation
Using marijuana can result in hallucinations, which are sensory experiences that seem real but are not
actually happening. Hallucinations can involve seeing, hearing, smelling, or feeling things that are not
present. This can occur due to the psychoactive properties of marijuana, specifically the compound THC,

loss, flashbacks, and delusions are not commonly associated with marijuana use.
