Which is worse? I personally believe that alcohol is worse than marijuana. People do die from both of these addicting substances. There has been many overdoses of alcohol but no recorded deaths of an overdose on marijuana. Many people will agree with this to. Also alcohol does way more damage to the brain than marijuana could ever do. Alcohol in my opinion and many other people’s opinions is way worse than marijuana.
Yes marijuana can be addictive sometimes but it is also used for medicine. It is used for medical purposes like symptoms of sicknesses or headaches, a disease like cancer, or a long-term condition, like glaucoma or nerve pain. Marijuana is not recommended for everyone but it still isn’t as bad as alcohol. You physically CAN’T overdose on marijuana. Marijuana is used by over 100 million Americans as either a medicine just cause but it still not even close to how dangerous alcohol is.
Alcohol is in mouth wash and cough syrup and many other medicines. But it can affect its consumers. Marijuana cannot do that. Alcohol kills around 50,000 people each year from overdoses, binge drinking, and even drinking too much too fast. When people 
are drunk from alcohol no one knows what they will do. People can be aggressive or rude and make messes without even knowing it. With marijuana if your “high” you’re just sleepy or hungry and cant to unthinkable disastrous that that you would do on accident while you were drunk.
Alcohol is worse than marijuana. Even Dr. Aaron Carrol thinks so.”After going through all the data and looking at which is more dangerous in almost any metric you would pick, pot really looks like it’s safer than alcohol,” said Dr. Aaron Carroll. He is a professor of pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine. He studied both of these “drugs” and found that alcohol IS 5 more dangerous than marijuana could ever be. Marijuana is illegal in some states but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. A lot of people use it for medicines. Yes alcohol isn’t illegal but it isn’t used strait from the bottle for medicines. It is barely in some but that doesn’t mean it is needed.
In the end alcohol and marijuana are both bad in ways. But alcohol is the still more deadly and harmful than marijuana. Because of its harmful effects and scary results that happen if you have too much alcohol. It can be used in medicines but does that mean it’s still good? No. Cause it’s not. Marijuana can’t have affects like that and it is recommended by doctors so it can’t be bad.
