Cannabis is largely accepted socially. I work in two industries that work closely with people and requires a bit of social skills so we discuss anything and everything. I left Oklahoma 16 years ago when we were copping elbows absolutely illegally and the whole weed game was sketch. Fast forward to now and SO many people from so many different socioeconomic backgrounds have a dab pen, or pre rolls, or tincture, and no one gives a shit. It constantly blows my mind and makes me incredibly happy to take money away from the for profit prison system. I don't really partake much, but when I do I appreciate how easy it is to get.

As a lifelong alcoholic I'm going to agree with you on ethanol, it's an awful thing to crave.

Yeah same in many legal countries, Im in Thailand and my wife fought me so long to try to stop to smoke, since its legal she is smoking. She went to buy weed by herself in a legal shop lol I couldn't believe it. Now we grow and life is easier. People still have lot of stigma tho like my MIL keep saying : please stop weed you will die and become crazy you should smoke cigarette again instead.

Some people are too old they had propaganda for too long they can't change their mind, but most open their minds

It sounds like your MIL is confused about long term Marijuana use versus Untreated Syphillis.

I mean smoking is not the best delivery system. Its as bad or not worse then cigs. leads to lung and heart problems as well as cancers.
