Um there are numerous uses for medical alcohol. If you use Cannabis for insomnia and i use alcohol how is it your use is medical and mine is not? I hated Canada's medical pot program, it was a special club to grow money for people who knew how to exploit the system. No more two tier system. It should be legal for all adults.
The market will decide if consumers want mass produced cigarette company weed or organic. It's going to cost more and if people want it they will pay more for it. If Oregon became a hub for weed growers exporting to other states, that's the fault of prohibition, Canada won't have that problem, there is nowhere left to export/smuggle it to.
Also full disclosure: I am applying for jobs at new dispensaries opening in my city in Canada.
Can you please name some medicinal benefits of drinking alcohol in large quantities? I can name many for consuming large amounts of cannabis products on a regular basis. Also, what diseases does alcohol cure/prevent? I can think of a few it causes for sure.
