I regularly smoke but i still enjoy a tasty beer or bourbon from time to time in social situations or with a meal (wine).

And smoking isn't allowed in doors, so you can't replace alcohol with cannabis in every situation.

So no, I would probably drink and smoke the same. Because at this point its decriminalized anyway.

 

[BLAUcopter]

No hangovers with weed, you wake up feeling pretty awesome.

 

[Calm Killer]

I don't drink or smoke, so this will 0 affect on me.

 

[HazySaiyan]

I almost never drink anyway, so I'm not gonna start smoking weed on the regular

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

I don't drink and I wouldn't start, so no.
But I probably also wouldn't smoke more if it were legal.

 

[geomon]

No, I'm not a drinker to begin with.

 

[Bedameister]

I think so, yeah

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I'd likely never drink again

This


Edit: I got gout.

 

[big_z]

marijuana has been easy access here for quite some time and it never had any impact on my alcohol intake. what had a huge impact was my interest in fitness. now I rarely drink save for the odd special occasion and even less so smoke. every time I do indulge in those activities it feels like I lose a few days worth of gains and its not worth it.

 

[The Artisan]

i barely drink alcohol as it is so probably not

 

[Yaboosh]

Live in Colorado.

If I'm staying in weed is my go to. But i don't like being high out of the house. When out and about a few beers is the way to go. I hate being drunk, but a small buzz isn't a bad thing.

 

[King Gilga]

Not remotely.

 

[krang]

Alcohol is just a much more interesting way to get off your face. So many beers, wines and cocktails.

Nah, I'm good.

 

[chugen]

i will mix my alcohol with weed and vape both at the same time

 

[xenist]

Nah. Weed and booze are complimentary. I don't think I've ever smoked without also having a drink in my hand.

 

[MadraptorMan]

Living in Japan I have often wondered about this. There is absolutely no safe way to experience weed here so all I am left with is getting drunk pretty often and it makes me fat..

 

[veryslowhand]

Drugs are bad people.

 

[boiled goose]

It hasn't. Prefer drinking

 

[the1npc]

Weed is not a social drug to me, so no.

Really depends on the strain for me. Some sativas are great to have in a group and go for a hike, play some mario kart etc

 

[BeforeU]

I highly doubt that

 

[RipperGrim]

Definitely wouldn't drink nearly as much as I normally do. Would still enjoy a beer or two but it would never be to get drunk again.

 

[Pete the Ferret]

It's not legal here in the UK so the only time I've had it recently was a couple years ago in Amsterdam. If was made legal I'd definitely swap out drinking at home for it on a lot of occasions , but I'd still drink on a night out or at a party rather than smoke weed.

 

[Always-honest]

Well, i like the combination, actually.
If i had to choose, i'd choose hashish, But pure for myself. In a social setting drinking alcohol would be wiser.

 

[MåndagSöndag]

For the most part weed is anti social, introvert and often downer.

It would have no effect at all.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

I only drink because i can't smoke, its nowhere as nice.

 

[curiouscharles]

the more drugs i do, the less i do of all of them [but i love to do them all at the same time].

but yeah, always preferred being high to drunk [depending on the scenario / circumstance].

but i'm not a dangerous drinker in the first place, and am definitely growing out of weed as i near my mid 30s.

 

[Lowmelody]

For the most part weed is anti social, introvert and often downer.

Weird, in my experience weed is the most social drug of all. It's everywhere, even here in MO where it's still illegal. Everyone be tokin everywhere I go. Smokin with a stranger you just met is like an instant bonding experience. lol

 

[Kaako]

My alcohol intake would remain the same, that is zero. My cannabis intake would also remain the same, that is infinity.

 

[j_rocca42]

Legal in my state. Nothing has changed. I drink and I don't smoke.

 

[Adam_Vania]

probably wouldnt affect it at all. they are totally different sensations and totally different substances. they go well together but one is certainly not a replacement for the other.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Colorado resident here

My weed tolerance has become incredibly high since it became legal, but I still get high when I smoke the good shit. Kinda feels like I drink now more than ever but it's definitely not an everyday thing. However I smoke bud daily, just not entire bowls of weed and shit. More like a 1 to 2 puff thing whenever I smoke by myself.

Weed seriously needs to be leagalized throughout the country already. I mean ffs we are trillions in debt. Country wide weed legalization would surely put a dent in our debt.

 

[PulseONE]

I stopped drinking when I started smoking

Of course weed is still illegal here so...if it WAS legal even moreso

These days I only drink if I can't smoke, or if I have to interact socially with strangers lol

 

[Rktk]

That's a bit like saying you would take ketamine since you were out of coke.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

no

 

[HStallion]

That's a bit like saying you would take ketamine since you were out of coke.

Well that's dumb, you take Ritalin and Adderol if you're out of coke.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

That's a bit like saying you would take ketamine since you were out of coke.

Ketamine is better than coke tho.

 

[norm9]

Nah, you just have to make sure you don't drink too much before you smoke or else you get the spins and a date with the toilet.

 

[sturgboski]

I would probably drink more to either deal with OR keep up with the people smoking marijuana (or using edibles), you know, depending on company.

 

[sant]

It already has

 

[Daingurse]

I already smoke marijuana on a daily basis, and it absolutely effected my alcohol intake. When I have weed I am strictly a casual drinker. Only time I drink to get drunk nowadays is when I don't have weed. The weed high is muuuuch better than being drunk IMO.

 

[markofhavoc]

It is and it has =)

 

[The Albatross]

Marijuana is legal in my state. No, it hasn't. Drink about as much as I used to.

Don't really love smoking. I smoke once in a while, maybe once every few months.

 

[Hindenblewp]

A little bit. I can't smoke in my apartment, so I've taken to buying capsules which works out great; take them when I get home, get dinner, dog, cleaning responsibilities out of the way and it kicks in when I'm ready to settle down.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

I haven't been able to drink for several years due to ibs issues so I'd just keep on smoking daily as per the usual.

 

[NJSlay]

If it was allowed in public places, like bars, I would never drink. Weed is so much better than beer/liquor that it doesn't even make sense to me that drinking is as big as it is. Nothing like losing your motor skills, slurred speech, bad decision making/mood swings and a gnarly hangover the next day @ work. Great times.

And sex is like 100 million times better on weed, man.

 

[gutter_trash]

nope because my booze intake is really really low.

I actually don't enjoy drinking, I just do it in social settings because fuckin' society

 

[teh_pwn]

It would go down a lot. Weed from Colorado is easy to pick high quality stuff, much better high than alcohol.

 

[andymcc]

Same.

 

[Spenny]

I'm around weed 24/7 and I still enjoy beer quite often. Though I have drastically reduced my hard alcohol intake.

 

[ZedLeppelin006]

And sex is like 100 million times better on weed, man.

Also this.
