Yes, Water is more harmful than Marijuana

As a person who has had more sugar in my life than marijuana I would completely agree that refined sugar is more harmful to our bodies than marijuana, but so are a bunch of other things. A recent article Even Sugar Is More Harmful Than Marijuana, Americans Say refers to a study done by NBC News/Wall Street Journal Survey where people were asked if marijuana was more or less harmful than sugar, among other things, making this an opinion survey.

Now, switching topics…
Q25 Which of the following substances would you say is the MOST harmful to a person’s overall health?
(RANDOMIZE) (IF ALL, THEN ASK:) Now, if you had to choose just one, which substance would you say is the MOST harmful?
THIS TABLE HAS BEEN RANKED BY HIGHEST PERCENTAGE

Tobacco……………………………… 49

Alcohol ………………………………. 24

Sugar…………………………………. 15

Marijuana……………………………. 8

All (VOL) ………………………….. 3

None are harmful (VOL) …….. –

Not sure ……………………………. –

What this information tells me is that the people who answered like to drink, but are probably not that educated on the facts.

U.S. deaths from Tobacco related products = More than 480,000 deaths annually (including deaths from secondhand smoke)*according to the CDC and according to the World Health Organization Tobacco is 5th in what kills people, behind poverty/malnourishment , Unsafe Sex, Alcohol Use and Unsafe drinking water.
