In your opinion what’s more harmful Cannabis or Alcohol and why?

So, this might be an unpopular opinion, but cannabis is 100% more harmful.

Here's why. When you are talking about alcohol, everybody, and I mean everybody, understands the harmful side effects of drinking too much, or drinking while driving. There's been so much publicity over DUIs that even teenagers understand the hazards and dangers of drinking.

Cannabis.... Cannabis is seen as a good thing. This is coming from someone who used to smoke a lot, and would love to continue smoking again. But the fact of the matter is, anything that isn't air entering your lungs is bad for you. Cannabis also mentally impairs you. And here's the kicker. Not a single extremely successful person consumes cannabis on a daily basis multiple times a day. You've got people like Michael Phelps who smoke every now and then, but not every day all day. Even the weed god Snoop Dogg doesn't smoke every day - well I'm sure he does not, but not while he was working on becoming a successful individual.

If you want to be a successful individual, you need to get rid of variables that may impact your success. One variable is cannabis - eliminate cannabis from your life, become successful, then smoke, if you want to.

Cannabis 100% negatively affects you. Cannabis also have its benefits, mind you, but it absolutely has negative effects.
