I agree. But it’s not like Alcohol usage will go down once Cannabis is legalized. If anything, people will use them together in a vicious cycle. Throwing baseball bats into a dangerous hockey arena is never a good idea, even if the bats are made of foam.

Are you kidding me? For years I said "I'd stop drinking tomorrow if I could legally buy weed." I was not an alcoholic, though I'm sure I met some overzealous standard for "problem drinker" for a period of time. Within months of getting a prescription for medical cannabis I'd just gradually stopped drinking and also using nicotine, without even much effort.

And I'm not even a heavy user. 3g will last me a month, easy. Yes, I'm just one anecdote, but I've seen plenty of similar stories.
