Josh, Chuck, and Jerry break down whether marijuana or alcohol is actually worse for you by diving deep into the medical research comparing these two substances. The episode examines everything from overdose risks and long-term health effects to impacts on pregnancy, mental health, crime, and driving—ultimately revealing that while both carry real dangers, the data consistently shows alcohol poses significantly greater immediate and long-term health risks, though marijuana use during adolescence comes with its own serious concerns for brain development.
