I don't think I worded it right.
People that I know generally drink alcohol during special occasions or like when they go out to eat or something. You know?
People that I know that use marijuana treat it more like a cigarette, where they need one every hour or so.

<facepalm> No, the problem isn't how you worded it. The problem is you really don't know much about the world beyond your bubble... let alone how different your bubble is from the rest of the world.

In my experiences, people say that it's not addictive and then can't go more than a couple of days without it.
I wouldn't want, say a crane operator, under any kind of influence. Sounds dangerous.

I thought we just established that "your experience" is... not at all representative of the real world. (And that you don't seem to be aware of this.)

I'm extremely aware that my life experience is different to literally every other person's experience.
I have yet to meet a single person who can just stop smoking and not have withdrawal symptoms.

You don't know a representative sample
30% of Americans drink every day

That's too many.

It's literally medically recommended to drink every day.

Studies like that change and contradict one another all the time.
I've read studies about coffee being a cure for cancer and also causing cancer.

More recent studies say there's no amount of alcohol that's not bad for you. But that's really beside the point of this thread.
