Beer sales don't take a hit from marijuana legalisation, study finds

The legalisation of marijuana in several US states has not curbed beer sales, according to new research, as Americans managed to find room in their social schedules for both.

Analysts at investment firm Bernstein said fears that the brewing industry would be sent into chronic decline by red-eyed revellers reaching for joints instead of beers have proved unfounded.

“At first sight, one would regard marijuana and alcohol in general as clear rivals and that every extra dollar spent on weed meant a dollar less on booze,” they said.

The good news is that you posted about something other than Brexit.

So people are drinking (lots of known health issues) and smoking as well (psychosis, heart risks). Sounds a good idea.

That was written by someone who has never been a stoner - beer n weed go hand in hand.

Also as the article sort of says it is not that people have started to smoke weed they are now just buying it legally and for cheaper so it has never been a one or the other - always just a both!

What you want is one of the licenses when they eventually legalise here.

People are already paying stupid prices for legally US grown weed here
