Michigan sales boom as some parents switch from alcohol to marijuana to relax

In the years since recreational marijuana was legalized in Michigan, more parents and older adults are switching from alcohol to cannabis consumption to relax. There are concerns related to health and judgement while under the influence of either. Still, marijuana sales in Michigan continue to soar.

    I like how the report here has views from the CEO, parents in a vote, statistics, and a very nice view from local certified medical doctor Frank McGeorge.

    I smoke all day everyday so a person like me who smokes that much can control the weed because people don’t know I’m high unless I tell them πŸ˜‰

    Great more bad cannabis on the market grown by people with deep pockets and no knowledge or love for growing .



  8. @thomasmoroney1079 on November 29, 2023 at 5:20 pm

    It’s always kept me from booze! Well, there was that time I …………..never mind πŸ˜‚

    Strange coincidence that these Midwest red states that are so behind in the cannabis movement, ALSO have the highest military recruitment numbers.
    Red states would rather have me dead from a pointless war than let me smoke a bowl of weed for my soul.

    Wisconsin has no democracy.



  14. @murphmanin on November 29, 2023 at 5:25 pm

    Switching from booze to pot is probably the best thing anyone could do for themself other than just quitting everything but then how would you relax in 2023 on the verge of World War III? Booze will just continue to ruin society and any lives in its wake.



  15. @martinaee on November 29, 2023 at 5:25 pm

    The alcohol industry can die regardless.



  16. @johnfidel187 on November 29, 2023 at 5:27 pm

    4:10 *People overdose on these candies when they put to much in them. Or did they finally fix the overdosing candy? And it makes you retarded. Don’t smoke to much. You’ll end up brain dead/OD’ing*



  17. @NBW42098 on November 29, 2023 at 5:29 pm

    And most of it that’s why we’re booming because of the beginners because you ain’t going to say the beginners will get the flower at the first time of smoking because they probably would rather try the edibles first because it’s easier to dose edibles then flower πŸ’―



  18. @Richard-vc3tw on November 29, 2023 at 5:30 pm

    I wish i lived in a recreational state!



  19. @buckrodgers770 on November 29, 2023 at 5:30 pm

    Flower in Michigan is junk. They processed the crap out of it after harvest. By the time you get it it’s boof.. no trichomes, no potency just weed they ran through a willow machine to auto-trim. Those percentages are BEFORE processing not what you actually get. That potency vanishes after processing.



  20. @JuanRodriguez-yf4sz on November 29, 2023 at 5:31 pm

    I use to drink and smoke πŸ’¨ more of the drinking and one day I crashed my car drunk and from that day on I decided to just smoke weed and it’s been the best chose.



  21. @MaxKanyua-dw8pb on November 29, 2023 at 5:37 pm

    Much healthier than alcohol



  22. @jcat3409 on November 29, 2023 at 5:37 pm

    I’m sure that Bud lite thing helps.



  23. @plutoplatters on November 29, 2023 at 5:38 pm

    Oh..don’t worry…… 420 will become a national holiday



  24. @GuitarBrew on November 29, 2023 at 5:38 pm

    Good, eff the alcohol companies



  25. @F4Insight-uq6nt on November 29, 2023 at 5:39 pm

    Everyone else seems to be saying sales are low. so Proof of all your claims are required.



  26. @westleyholladay6055 on November 29, 2023 at 5:39 pm

    Come on GA wake up we could use the tax money for all these freaken pot holes



  27. @rjcary84 on November 29, 2023 at 5:39 pm

    The #1 problem with the narrative about cannabis in this country is that people who have never done it or know what they’re talking about have controlled the narrative. There are plenty of people who can control themselves and self moderate when they drink so alcohol itself isn’t even really a factor in this. That’s just whataboutism. The #1 problem with all the other narratives on major issues in this country is the never closing mouth of MAGAts.



  28. @enochperalta3662 on November 29, 2023 at 5:42 pm

    Legalize weed and ban alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs and dangerous drugs πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ also don’t ban God very important then maybe we’ll survive



  29. @MedicinalMagic on November 29, 2023 at 5:46 pm

    I quit weed and alcohol being sober 100% is the best choice I’ve made my entire life
    I grew 3 greenhouses worth for a decade



  30. @Loverbksj on November 29, 2023 at 5:48 pm

    To anyone that hasn’t smoked don’t I smoke it makes me happy but not reallly it’s short term if u haven’t touched this plant don’t. I was happier before .

    Domestic abuse cases will drop.

    Welcome to our world!



  33. @jesse245 on November 29, 2023 at 5:50 pm

    Im glad I switched I just love fisting myself



  34. @angelariebli4843 on November 29, 2023 at 5:53 pm

    The reporting on this was SUPER cagey – although I am from the west coast, so I was thinking "Quit speaking in code and just say it — Weed is better than alcohol. And the whole tax revenue thing is working out for everyone!"



  35. @mikelattimer7909 on November 29, 2023 at 5:54 pm

    Soccer moms have a tuff life, give β€˜em a break.



  36. @NBW42098 on November 29, 2023 at 5:58 pm

    And I can say Michigan was really known for acholics even the homeless so yeah Michigan ain’t going to change the marijuana πŸ˜‚



  37. @Undisclosed_FBI on November 29, 2023 at 5:59 pm

    Or hear me out they started using both so alcohol sales went down because everyone gets cross faded hella easy lol



  38. @sirelongatedmuskrat5505 on November 29, 2023 at 6:00 pm

    About damn time.



  39. @ryanf2709 on November 29, 2023 at 6:01 pm

    It’s interesting to watch this from Australia seeing it discusses publicly without the stigma.
    It’s only been since about 2020 that medicinal only cannabis has become realistically accessible to the general public here.
    I hope we are just lagging behind the US and it becomes available recreationally here too eventually.
    I think the micro dots are a great idea



  40. @gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340 on November 29, 2023 at 6:02 pm

    im a better person on cannabis



  41. @thecurator2626 on November 29, 2023 at 6:05 pm

    The switch is a no brainer for those in the know.



  42. @usa9066 on November 29, 2023 at 6:06 pm

    And that’s why weed is still illegal because people,,lot’s of people leaving alcohol for weed, no money in healthy people for doctors to treat and police don’t pull over safe drivers



  43. @enochperalta3662 on November 29, 2023 at 6:07 pm

    Marijuana under control can be medicinal without letting it be a gateway drug



  44. @petermaclean9326 on November 29, 2023 at 6:08 pm

    No dude ever got high and hit his kids…



  45. @crazyadventuresandreviews on November 29, 2023 at 6:10 pm

    I can’t get pass the smell, I think it stinks so bad. And it doesn’t leave, the smell sticks to furniture, clothes and your hair.



  46. @sheilanorris7846 on November 29, 2023 at 6:10 pm

    What a stupid headline, good for them, no hangover, no jail time, the vehicle stays intact no one blacks out driving and accidently kills someone, less property damage all the way around you guys should have stopped drinking a long time ago stupid humans.



  47. @IHWKR on November 29, 2023 at 6:11 pm

    Id have bad days and when the day was done and I smoked marijuana, all that stress went away and I realized my day wasnt that bad after all. It might not be for everybody but it sure is an amazing plant for the people who find it useful. All those pharmaceuticals out the window replaced by one naturally occuring plant. Just beautiful. Dont get me wrong, I’ll still have a beer for taste. But i never liked getting drunk to begin with.



  48. @JohnFlaky-jm7dd on November 29, 2023 at 6:11 pm

    That’s how it works. Alcohol to drugs. Great trade



  49. @technology_pro on November 29, 2023 at 6:11 pm

    Henry ford health guy, We dont trust white coats in 2023!!

    Well, I’m sure they all made a fortune on the wall street rec marijuana ipo’s.
