    "The cost for alcohol consumption is far less than the potential income equivalent benefit from moderate drinking in terms of life satisfaction." For cannabis, the bill looks less good. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10902-019-00110-0 …pic.twitter.com/hnIiaLLdyF

        ...and no mention of the fact that cannabis is illegal and socially derided. Only an interesting study if controlling for that imo.

        ... correlation does not infer causation.This is no RCT. Non drinkers might differ in a million other ways...

        How is it even relevant if social context for alcohol and cannabis couldn't be more different? It's like comparing sleeping in a tent to sleeping in a bed in Los Angeles. Yeah, sleeping in a tent will be associated with being older, bearded, and less healthy. Are tents bad now?

        The emotional & economic benefits of alcohol consumption & production far outweigh its damage to the small population of genetically deficient alcoholics. Wish such wisdom had aborted the various ill-advised & ill-fated prohibition fiascos. Cheers!

        Questionable conclusions, to say the least

        Take into account that people who take drugs are taking them as a consequence of been in some kind of unhappiness in the first place.
