Replacing Alcohol with Marijuana: A Growing Trend in the US

More Americans are using marijuana daily compared to alcohol. While alcohol is still more widely consumed, the daily use of cannabis has surpassed it for the first time, according to a recent study. Around 18 million people reported using marijuana daily or near daily in 2022, while about 15 million reported the same frequency of alcohol use. One individual, identified as ‘B,’ gave up alcohol due to its negative impact on her health and turned to marijuana gummies instead. The decision to replace alcohol with weed is a personal choice, and experts highlight the need for regulation and more research on the risks and benefits of cannabis use.
