Going green: Why some New Yorkers leaned toward cannabis over alcohol on St. Patrick's Day | amNewYork
Briefly

This St. Patrick's Day in New York City, many are opting for cannabis over traditional drinking. Resident Ariella Vaakil, who has been alcohol-free for a year, expresses how cannabis allows her to enjoy festivities without the negative after-effects of alcohol, contributing to her sense of control and better health. Josh Wilson, General Manager of a local cannabis dispensary, points out that using cannabis may offer a more responsible celebration especially with St. Patrick's Day falling on a Monday, making it easier for individuals to manage their next day's responsibilities while still enjoying the festivities.
Cannabis has just been so much better to me. I've always preferred cannabis to drinking, and then when I finally stopped drinking, I just realized that it was so much better.
Going the cannabis route has the potential to be a more responsible way to celebrate. I can have a responsible time, smoke a couple of joints, maybe take an edible or two.
