Every alcoholic I know used weed to curb their drinking.
I should start using weed
Its at least worth a try
It’s not as bad for you as alcohol but it has its own drawbacks that must be managed. Also, it’s not that great to be around stoned out folks.
Add me to the list
Vaping it is better for you than smoking it, but smoking it isn’t near as bad as smoking cigarettes. Obviously eating it is healthiest, but it’s not everyone’s favorite.
I mostly use a dab rig, which technically counts as vaporizing rather than smoking, and I find that low temp dabbing is a good replacement for nursing a drink, high temp dabbing or smoking an actual bong is a good replacement for shots
