What's worse for you drinking alcohol or smoking weed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Impossible to answer: as asked. A famous physician of the Middle Ages, Paracelsus said - "All remedies are poisons. The difference lies in the dose." Is having one drink per day safer than smoking 1/2 oz of weed per day? Is drinking a liter a day safer than having one joint per week?? In general, alcohol causes more damage, more deaths, more illness than any drug other than tobacco (which is actually most harmful).
