What Are The Ill Effects Of Smoking Cannabis?

Hey Doc, I ve been smoking cannabis ruderalis frequently for the past few weeks. I ve noticed that the side of my cheekbones are becoming more pronounced (like there s less flesh between the bone and my skin now). I ve also noted that this characteristic is much more pronounced in others who medicate using the same plant, and it seems to be a more prominent facial feature in ruderalis smokers in general. My question is, what is the cause for this and is it temporary? Because I ve only noticed it in crowds with more heavy smokers, I m worried that this is permanent. Are there any remedies for it that don t involve the cessation of ruderalis consumption? Thank you for reading this.
