If you’ve ever wondered which is worse, booze or weed, it appears that science finally has the answer…

A comprehensive round-up of studies appears to show that cannabis really isn’t as bad for you as alcohol is. It’s also apparently much less addictive.

According to the World Health Organisation, booze is thought to contribute to 3.3 million deaths across the globe each year. Which, soberingly, equates to one person dying every 10 seconds.

When it comes to the actual health implications, the site says that things are still not as conclusive as they should be.

The page cites a famous study carried out in 2010 by the charity and research organisation Drugs Science. They determined that alcohol was the world’s most dangerous drug after considering sixteen different parameters of harm. This included harm to the individual and harm to society as a whole.

Heroin and crack cocaine came second and third in the list as, although they pose a greater danger to the individual user, they have less effect on the rest of society.
