I am very thankful that recreational weed is now legal in my state.
I never understood why alcohol was readily available while marijuana was restricted.
In terms of physical health, cannabis is far superior. Drinking alcohol results in a hangover the following day. Over the long-term, alcohol increases the risk of several types of cancer, weakens the immune system and contributes to heart damage, liver disease, central nervous system damage and digestive issues. It can sometimes be blamed for erectile dysfunction and infertility. Cannabis is actually used to treat some of those conditions. There are lots of people suffering from alcoholism. While there is some debate on the subject, I don’t feel that cannabis is addictive. In some cases, marijuana is recommended as a substitute for those people struggling with alcohol addiction. While many of my friends like to drink wine, beer or liquor at social events, I prefer a cannabis-infused beverage. The nearby cannabis dispensary offers a wide selection of drink options. There are multiple flavors of tonics, lemonades, colas, root beers, cannabeers and various mocktails. While there is a decent percentage of THC, the high is especially mild. The packaging makes cannabis-beverages wonderfully portable. Each bottle is clearly labeled, making dosing simple. I know exactly how much THC or CBD I’m taking in. Consumption is totally discreet and requires no specialized tools or expertise. I don’t need to worry about a hangover the next morning. I sleep really well that night and wake up clear-headed. While I usually buy cannabis beverages for consumption at social events, I sometimes use them to treat headaches or insomnia.
