Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Short-term effects of cannabis (marijuana) abuse include impaired memory, distorted perception, reduced coordination, and altered sense of time. Liver cirrhosis is associated with alcohol abuse. Permanent brain damage and chronic bronchitis are long-term consequences of sustained substance misuse, not immediate short-term effects of cannabis.
