Beer and Booze
During prohibition of alcohol in the 1920’s, many women’s temperance groups promoted smoking marijuana as a good alternative to the demon alcohol. I guess the booze makers never got over the snub. But in reality, Alcohol is extremely profitable as the only legal recreational intoxicant available. Adding competition would be against the alcohol industries best interests. Considering Marijuana doesn’t cause hangovers, is an antidepressant (compared to alcohols depressant), and is non addictive… it is easy to see why booze companies want to keep marijuana away from their target market.
