Which Is Worse: Marijuana or Alcohol? | Dr. Daniel Amen
One of the most common things people want to know is whether alcohol or marijuana is worse for your brain and overall health. The scientific evidence and the brain imaging work at Amen Clinics show that neither one is good for you. Alcohol is not a health food, and marijuana is not an innocuous substance. But is one of them more damaging than the other?
At first glance, it might seem that alcohol does the most damage to our brain health and general well-being because it is more widely used. Over 85% of American adults say they’ve consumed alcohol at some point in their lives, and nearly 70% say they’ve had a drink in the past year, as reported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Compare that to just 18% of Americans who said they used marijuana in 2019, according to the CDC. Although not as widespread, the harmful effects of marijuana on the brain may be greater. Let’s take a closer look at some of the worst consequences of drinking and marijuana.

We don’t care. We’re going to be old anyway.
See this why y’all got shit fucked up that motherfuckers want us to drink but not smoke so let me get this right you want us to be overly aggressive ready to fight ready to do some stupid shit damn near kill ourselves while our liver is shutting down rather than building up blood clots and calming the fuck down yeah cause that makes a lot of fucking sense both of them have side effects but only one of them makes you actually want to hurt people
Stoners always come across as lazy and unmotivated and dead boring.
Was never really into weed but got hooked on booze. Recently kicked it to the curb. Already feeling better. Just f**king done with substances. And listen, I am fundamentally aware some people can use but not abuse both alcohol and weed, but for me it was all or nothing, therefore me, cutting it out completely is the best move.
I use THC every day. I have a chronic illness that i’m dealing with, and THC helps me with so many things. I use it like medicine, because it helps me like a "traditional" medicine would. I’m all in for the use of THC, especially for medical issues.
Watching this report from CO of HM Department of the Bleeding Obvious, has aged me faster than a shot of 45% Turkish Raki and a bleeze of 1984 Moroccan Gold
marjuana changed my life. I love porn.
Ask a cop who they would rather have to deal with – a stoner or a drunk. Marijuana doesn’t turn you into a combative, violent, belligerent asshole.
They are both just as bad. Either way, you are under the influence & intoxicated
MJ or Alc? Psilocybin is best
So in other words, alcohol kills and marijuana makes you look old. So which one is worse
I’m pretty sure doctors are drug dealers
I’ve watched them dance around this elephant in the room for seven decades. And when they aren’t doing that they are putting another layer of lipstick on the pig!
Alcohol is literally the excrement (poop) from the yeast creatures and has a dosage that will kill you. Cannabis has no lethal dosage established. It’ always going to be about the money!
Yes because I get more wise
they both make YOU stupid
Not people in the comments acting like weed is meth. You guys are so stupid.
Definetly alcohol i never went to prison for weed
Butt but I like marijuana
heavy pot use also causes a kind of immaturity,an emotional retardation which is hard to quantify. Heavy alcohol use just causes straight up depression which also is bad but easier to measure and identify.
Alcohol killed my uncle and led my cousins down a bad path I choose weed all the way
Weed is good for ypu
Neither one is good for you…so, I do both.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤😂❤
Bullshit! THC reverses the neurological amyloid plagues that causes the problems associated with alzheimers!
Those plagues are the *result* of aging! This guy is a liar!
Never been molested by a man who smelled like weed, beer on the other hand…
Alcohol ages people physically and mentally more than any substance out there. This last stat you provided is false
This video has to be for views right ? Because I watered it 10 times🧐🧐 please clarify
Of course alcohol is worse lol you don’t see weed bar fights or weed destroying someone’s kidneys or turn a person into a major a hole
….in moderation, both can be enjoyed.
Without giving metrics this is worthless.
My ass
It is ALL in the genes. I’ve smoked on and off since 1968. At 71 yrs. I am healthy, & happy. Never been in the hospital, or very sick. I manage my diabetes 2 effectively. Worked all my life. There is only ONE thing that matters. QUALITY of LIFE. That can only be achieved with MODERATION in all behavior.
Weed is sneaky devil
Which one is WORSE? TF? Which one is better?!
62000 scans and we determined that all of ours lies are true. Then we investigated ourself and found we did nothing wrong. Trust us.
Neither , they call it dope for a reason it doesn’t make you smarter
It all depends on how much alcohol you drink. Some people don’t have a problem with it.
So let me get this right we’re concerned about aging, but not killing our fucking livers
Liver?
Unless its 1800 and you are chopping off a limb there are no uses for alcohol "medicinally".
Clearly alcohol idc what nobody say
Weed kills ambition and poor food choices whilst the munchies have kicked in
Alcohol is worse. Alcohol is one of the hardest drugs known to man. Alcohol destroys more lives than Heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine combined .
He clearly don’t know wtf he talking bout
Alcohol is far worse than pot
Marijuana is also far more likely to trigger schizophrenia and other mental health issues.
People think because you can’t overdose on it that it’s safe, but that really isn’t the case… Marijuana is extremely bad for your mental health. I don’t know a single person I would describe as “successful” who uses it regularly.
Weed is worse, one soldier that was in Afghanistan said he didn’t care dying and didn’t care about anything after smoking weed from Afghanistan while was there. Weed can make you feel you’re about to be killed for example, you think person is gonna kill you then you kill him and after weed goes away you realize you were wrong. Weed is even worse to get rid of after trying it, unlike alcohol. Weed ruins your brain faster than alcohol. Dementia and shit appears from weed and strange feeligs that alcohol won’t give
Ain’t no one in the history of mankind has ever died from weed 😂
Just saying weed don’t do to you what alcohol can do….
Show data. I eat weed every night and feel great!
