If the question is: "Does Cannabis use lead to psychotic breakdowns, or directly cause ER visits?" Then, you are correct, it does not seem to do this.
Psychosocial harm? If the question is: "Does Cannabis use decrease ambition and drive? Does it reduce the user's social skills? Does it correlate to missed classes or days at work, thereby contributing to lower social status and earning power?" I'd say this sort of psychosocial harm is rampant. But, no, ER visits do not correlate.

It can contribute to all that but I also know successful people that have smoked it, do smoke it, and will probably continue to smoke it.
So my answer would be, "Not necessarily."
