THC like most "drugs" is poisonous , that is how it causes the entertaining effects, by poisoning your body. So yes getting high on a drug does temporarily make you mentally ill. Mental Illness does not mean insanity. Illness infers a physiological cause, which may or may not be treatable by modern medical means. Whereas insanity is based on a psychological cause, which may or not be treatable by counselling/therapy, more often not.

Edema, which is a body part retains water, is an illness and can happen in the brain. It's common in mountain climbers who don't have a lot of oxygen to breathe. But it is treatable. Just thought I'd throw that in.
