I think alcohol would have been a better replacement. It’s so heavily infiltrated in society and its presence is almost expected at most 21+ social events whereas weed is still controversial to many and illegal in many states.

Good comment. I agree with your point. I think in my mind I was thinking about what helps people manage and I believe that alcohol really doesn’t help at all, where as weed and anti-depressants have been known to help. But I guess my own bias snuck in there because you are right. Many people believe alcohol helps and they use it to help. I myself would highly recommend weed over alcohol. No competition for me. Thank you for your comment.

I prefer weed too. Alcohol is less of a commitment and easier to consume more frequently. It also has the tendency to suppress negative feelings as opposed to “helping” with them hence why it’s probably so popular.
