HI:I am torn on the whole pot scene!!!
I grew up through the late 60's and early 70's and pot was grown by some in the back yard for rec use. Had a joint or two in the day and survived BUT some friends went from pot to LSD(on the blotter ) and promptly thought they could fly.
I went to his funeral.

Fast forward to today.My son had friends through HS that did pot promptly found that their parents basement was a good place to stay instead of further education/job.He was in the mandatory rock band(poor noise) and rep hockey but rocked a great education and in a well paying career.

Is a beer more risk than a joint:I don't know but growing up through the hippy scene,raising a son through the 90's/20's  and being a college teacher for a quarter century I have seen more tragic outcomes from drugs than alcohol!

Here is the irony,I bought Aurora Cannabis Inc when it was a penny stock and did a triple banger so pot has been very good to me.
