Cannabis (marijuana/hashish/ganja/charas/weed) consumption is associated with chronic amotivation syndrome and behavioral problems. It has been known to trigger psychotic episodes, as well as anxiety attacks.
Consider getting an evaluation by a psychiatrist with experience in deaddiction to get to the root of the problem. Strict abstinence from any kind of substance of abuse is essential for proper recovery.

Dear Pratik,
Marijuana can precipitate a psychotic disorder. So you need to be cautious of hallucination, delusion and bizarre behaviour.
In the long run, it can lead to amotivational syndrome. So please keep a watch on your job or career or family/relationship daily.
Are you smoking nicotine cigarettes also? In that case, you need to watch out for more harmful effects.
