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.

    Works for this functioning alcoholic. Couple of puffs and I put the beer down.

    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.
