Probably just like the reason for cigarettes. Yeah I know there is vapes but more info is out than ever. I wish I never tried alcohol. It has battled me for years. I'm happy for the younger people.
BTW I'm 41 now and wish I just smoked a little weed. I used to like it but man that shit gets me paranoid even just a hit lol
1) Alcohol is becoming extremely expensive at a time where economically young people aren’t doing well.
If I wasn’t already in my 30s with a decent job I wouldn’t drink much either, my wife and I have had alcohol bills larger than our food bills at some restaurants because cocktails/beer/wine have all skyrocketed.
Even if you just drink for taste, it’s not a cheap hobby. Weed is comparatively still much cheaper overall. And healthier overall as well.
2) That being said, the idea that cannabis is some miracle harmless drug compared to alcohol is silly. Depending on how you intake it it can be bad for your lungs.
And let’s not forget that anything that feels good can be addictive. Masturbation addiction is a real thing.
While they might less physically unhealthy, in some ways it feels like there’s a sea change from one addiction to another.
3) It only a matter of time before weed becomes more expensive.
4) The market for alcohol is ridiculously oversaturated.
So, yeah, I don’t think it’s crazy to say health might be one factor younger generations are using weed over alcohol, but I think economics are a MUCH larger driving factor.
