    For the first time, the number of Americans who use marijuana just about every day has surpassed the number who drink that often, a shift some 40 years in the making as recreational pot use became more mainstream and legal in nearly half of U.S. states.

    Since the legality is the thing that has changed, that’s not that surprising.

      Obviously legality of weed is related, but I’m arguing that there is a “scoop” here, that weed has passed a milestone; it’s more commonly used daily than alchohol.

        Fair enough I guess, I just think that would be kind of expected. Alcohol is extremely expensive.

          How cheap is weed where you are? Or how expensive is alcohol? Cause that doesn’t sound like my experience
