Published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the study found that people who smoked high-potency cannabis drank 27 percent less alcohol, while those on a weaker strain drank 19 percent less, compared to a placebo joint. Participants also waited longer to take their first drink, suggesting cannabis might slow-roll the urge to chase a buzz with another buzz.

Back before any states legalized, I remember seeing Anheuser-Busch lobbying hard against it. They knew any step towards legal marijuana would threaten their top dog status.

Nah. I mix. Weed first, then a few beers.

Weed Doesn't Care About Your Science

[–] Icytrees@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But science cares about weed.

[–] Bonus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Weed talks about science constantly if we're being honest really

High on weed? Maybe. High on speed? Absolutely not. That made me spend 2 days drinking several pints of water an hour because I felt dried up.
