Choosing Cannabis Instead of Alcohol: What to Try from Breckenridge Organic Therapy

Thinking about using weed as an alcohol alternative? You’re not alone. Many people are replacing alcohol with weed, and for good reason. At Breckenridge Organic Therapy, our team is here to help you find the THC drinks, edibles, and other cannabis options that you can use to replace alcohol. Here, we’ll take a look at what you need to consider when it comes to choosing cannabis or alcohol, and different products you can use in place of booze.

Cannabis vs Alcohol: What You Need to Know

When it comes to choosing between weed and booze, it’s important to understand the effects of both substances. Alcohol and cannabis alike have been used around the world for centuries. As marijuana use becomes more mainstream, many people are beginning to explore whether weed is a better fit for them than alcohol.

Can Cannabis be a Healthier Alternative to Alcohol?

In the short-term, alcohol works as a depressant, slowing down the nervous system and impairing coordination, decision-making, and memory. Long-term, alcohol use is linked to liver problems, heart problems, immune system issues, and a higher risk of developing certain types of cancer.

In the short-term, weed offers calming and/or euphoric effects, and can increase relaxation, change sensory perception, and, in some cases, can lead to paranoia or anxiety. Long-term, cannabis use is less likely to become addictive when compared to alcohol. While heavy use or long-term use can cause cognitive issues, cannabis has not been shown to cause long-term physical organ damage.

Cannabis Drinks as Alcohol Substitutes: The Best Cannabis Products Instead of Alcohol

Cannabis drinks are a type of THC edibles that can be a great way to move away from alcohol. Some of our most popular cannabis drinks include CannaPunch and Mary’s Medicinal Tinctures. You might also enjoy gummies—similar to a fruit snack, THC gummies provide you with the same THC you’d get from smoking cannabis. If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to replacing alcohol with weed, don’t hesitate to ask.
