If it’s the same why not just stay legal and have a glass of wine?
It is legal in several states.
Some people just hate alcohol and prefer hemp. Unlike alcohol, hemp can be consumed in many different ways and grown by anyone.
Unlike alcohol, hemp is 100% nontoxic when consumed without smoke. There has never been any damage or death recorded from hemp. Even under impossible experimental conditions using purified compounds not found in nature. Basically, you couldn't hurt yourself with hemp if you tried.
With alcohol it is very possible to die from poisoning or withdrawal. Alcohol abuse causes 100% PROVEN IRREVERSIBLE brain and liver damage! Alcohol abuse is far more damaging than hemp abuse, yet it remains legal.
A big part of hemp prohibition is that the ease of production threatens the alcohol market (and taxes). If it was legal, some people would simply grow a plant in their yard and stop buying alcohol.
Every person is different and should have the freedom to choose.
