How is any of that based on something besides your personal preference? What does quite bad mean? And what is "close to alcohol?" How much alcohol? How high?
I've also never met a person that drinks A beer. I've met lots that drink beers and call it a beer to minimize their habits though.
No offense but your opinion sounds like an anti drug ad from the 90's made by someone who's yet to admit their drug of choice is even a drug.
I smoke weed few times a month. Will have a beer about once, sometimes twice a week. I do pot to get a buzz typically where as a single beer is just nice on a hot day and won't give me any feeling unless I drink a few in a row. I suspect you never met a person that drinks 'a' beer because the same reason you wouldn't know if a person has a glass of wine at supper. Lots of people do it just for the taste and relaxation and refreshment. Not to get a buzz. There is evidence that is even good for you but I think it is a wash. The occasional one that is. You are likely right though if you know someone that needs 'a' single beer a day, they are likely drinking more than that. And I would agree, a full on alcohol addiction is harder on the body then a full on weed addiction.
What I do see is alcoholics will not claim being so is somehow improving their life in an meaningful way. At least they are being truthful. I do know a fair amount of daily pot users, some basically wake and bake, and they are better at suggesting it is necessary to make their life better. I don't buy that.
Yeah anecdotes are great but this is nothing but your opinion, ultimately.
You can question frequent use of edibles all you want as far as addiction is concerned, but when you try to suggest that it's as bad for you health-wise as alcohol? You are just wrong.
From the guy that first provide an anecdote.
Anyhow I can assure you that taking edibles daily is certainly worse than have a beer a week. For some they may need it for pain possibly and that is valid but the majority of daily users are using for the high. Or better put, can't operate well without a daily hit.
This is a crucial point, how can you? Overlooking the major discrepancy in frequency of use.
The active ingredient in edibles is an analogue to something endogenous to the human body, alcohol is just a toxic substance.
Your usage of majority here is pretty disingenuous, well frankly your entire point.
To do exactly what you're doing: The majority of drinkers who have a beer a week are alcoholics who can't operate well without a daily drink.
Not to mention to liken having a beer a week to daily edibles is insane. A more apt comparison would be a drink or two a day vs an edible a day. Or at the other end, an edible a week vs a beer a week.
You can't even figure out who you're talking to. It is quite literally right there in the username.
Something tells me your opinion on the matter is worthless.
