i want to ask which is worst weed or hooka?
Brief Answer:
I am making assumptions
Detailed Answer:
There are some problems with each
I am assuming tobacco with hooka.
It certainly depends upon the amount.
Rare one time bad effects have happened with each but with a single use the problems (except driving while intoxicated) are so very rare, the answer is meaningless.
WIth daily use, lung disease, heart disease, lung cancer are real risks with tobacco that are not associated with marijuana.
There are (subtle) effects with marijuana on the ability to think and concentrate.
