"Giving up alcohol feels like progress. But if you're reaching for cannabis instead, you haven't changed the pattern-just the packaging."
"The question isn't 'Which substance is safer?' but 'What need is its use serving that I haven't addressed?'"
The sober curious movement has led to a significant reduction in alcohol consumption, particularly among younger generations. However, this decline is counterbalanced by a rise in cannabis use, which does not address the underlying issues driving substance use. Individuals like Marcus, who have stopped drinking, often turn to cannabis as an alternative, suggesting a rebranding rather than a true change in behavior. The focus should shift from comparing substances to understanding the needs that drive their use.
