A new study has suggested alcohol is more harmful to your brain than cannabis - alcohol consumption is more detrimental to people’s brains than cannabis.

Researchers from the University of Colorado-Boulder tested more than 850 adults and 430 teenagers to conclude that alcohol, not cannabis led to lower brain volumes of grey and white brain tissue.

Grey matter controls brain function and white matter controls communication between the nerves in the brain.

“While marijuana may also have some negative consequences, it definitely is nowhere near the negative consequences of alcohol,” study co-author Kent Hutchison reported to Medical News Today.

Study author Rachel Thayer stated that there is still a lot scientists who do not know how cannabis affects the human brain as opposed to numerous studies showing the same results about brain health and consuming alcohol.

Another study conducted recently claims that cannabis use coupled with alcohol consumption could lead to a lower risk of liver disease.

Cannabis has been used to treat cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, epilepsy, and migraines.

In the US, Colorado, Washington State, Oregon, California, and Alaska have legalised its use for medical or recreational use and have placed tight controls on production and sale.

The short-term effects of weed and alcohol differ from person to person.

Getting drunk or high can feel similar to some people, while others describe the sensations as very different. Of course, the way you feel when you’re intoxicated also depends on how much of the substance you consume.

Marijuana use had no impact

The study included the brain images of 853 adults who were aged between 18 and 55 years and 439 teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18. All participants varied in their use of alcohol and marijuana.

The researchers found that alcohol use — particularly in adults who had been drinking for many years — was associated with a reduction in gray matter volume, as well as a reduction in the integrity of white matter.
