Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Chronic marijuana use can lead to changes in brain function and structure, including alterations in blood flow. While light and moderate users may experience a return to near-normal blood flow levels after cessation, heavy users are more likely to have persistent abnormalities due to the more significant impact of prolonged and heavy use on the brain.
