Weed can't really be an alternative to booze for me. The vibes when I've consumed THC socially are just very off, even worse if it's in a public place. They are just a very different feeling and I wish there were something that gave the effects of ethenol without the health consequences because it is not good for your body. I don't really get hangovers though, I'm concerned about the long term consequences and should probably just avoid drinking.
