            ???

            THC has never been an alternative to alcohol. There are definitely people who prefer it instead of alcohol and there are people who use both.

            I don&#x27;t know anyone who thinks they&#x27;re interchangeable unless they&#x27;re solely looking at it as a political&#x2F;functional slot to fill.

            If you force a drunk who hates pot to switch and vice-versa, they genuinely might want to murder you, but why make this a wedge issue?

               There absolutely is a contingent of &quot;wine mom&quot; types who used to enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings but have transitioned to gummies or other edibles before bed.
