About this listen
So, after breaking it all down, what’s the verdict? Is one of these substances definitively worse than the other?
- Alcohol has greater short- and long-term health risks, including addiction, organ damage, and cancer.
- Cannabis has fewer physiological harms but can affect mental health and cognitive function.
- Cannabis has legitimate medical applications, whereas alcohol does not.
- Social and legal acceptance of alcohol far outweighs that of cannabis, despite scientific evidence suggesting that cannabis is less harmful.
At the end of the day, moderation is key.
Neither substance is entirely risk-free, and individual reactions vary. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, seeking professional guidance is always the best course of action.
The reality is if you're really worried about your health you probably wouldn't use either of these substances
