Many people learn to use alcohol with caution and without becoming habituated to it or over use, especially people of European ethnicity. Native Americans, not. But marijuana is quite different, more intense, and much easier to become habituated to it. Modern mj is bred with such high THC content that there is really no way to use it just to get a small buzz, as people can do with 1 beer or 1 glass of wine.
Not comparable. and I say this as a teenage alcoholic and then heavy drug user for about 2 to 3 years. Thankfully - I stopped all drug and alcohol use at age 20.
I’m sure you are right re chronic getting high. But there are plenty of alcoholics who imbibe huge quantities of alcohol and get plastered daily too. I have zero desire to get high, since high school too basically. CBD oil over a long period of time can knock away chronic unexplained pain (for me, migraines), though. It helps. I’m glad it is legal. I make my own combo of 3:1 so it is just right for me.

The notion that one cannot use small amounts of cannabis is pure fantasy.You can very easily use small amounts of cannabis to relax after a long day just as you can with beer or wine.
Yes, cannabis is more potent today than it used to be & I thank God for this every day. Because cannabis is more potent today one doesn’t need to use as much to achieve the desired effect/outcome. As a medical marijuana patient here in the state of Florida I can personally attest to this.
