A brain doctor has lifted the lid on whether alcohol or weed is worse for your health.
A whopping 17 percent of Americans have confessed to smoking a joint at some point in their life as of 2023, which is a little less surprising when you consider 24 states legalized marijuana use for recreational use.
Yet even more of the population, at least 60 percent, drink alcohol, despite the well-documented impact it has on our health.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) says there is ‘no level’ of safe alcohol consumption, since it is a ‘toxic, psychoactive and dependence-producing substance.’
Not only that, but booze can cause at least seven types of cancer, including the most common cancer types like bowel cancer and breast cancer in women.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Clinic finds weed, derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, has several short-term and long-term effects, though scientists are still studying just how harmful it can be.
