Lesser evil: One marijuana gummy in a week would be the lesser of the two evils. As you conceded, both are bad for you.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Wish you good health!
