It’s going to be noticed when their brain cells are fried. I’ve seen it too many times. Alcohol addiction is bad but I haven’t seen many with fried brains after they quit. Pot heads never function the same, it’s like they are in a constant fog.
I have always found the opposite to be true. Alkies never are the same again.

A cousin of someone I know takes pills by the handful, he smokes whatever he can get his hands on, drinks, drives home with his kids in the car.
Even when he is sober, he ain’t normal.
“Alcohol addiction is bad but I havent seen many with fried brains after they quit.”
Plenty of irreversibly fried brains because of alcohol. Ever heard of wet brain?

This is on top of liver damage, stomach disease, nerve damage, and muscle atrophy to name just a few complications brought on by alcoholism.
It's not good for adults, either. The damage done to adolescent brains from cannabis is significant as well, and we will unfortunately have much more longitudinal research data on that soon...
