Alcohol is significantly more harmful and dangerous to the body than weed. If anything, this is incredible progress and a much longer way to go.
As someone who came of age drinking with my friends and who avoided weed for law and job reasons, it’s hard for me to wrap my emotional thinking around the concept. It’s still deep in my brain that weed is a bad thing people should avoid. And yet, intellectually I know I'd be better off pouring the liquor in the pantry down the drain and switching to marijuana.
Yes, its weird.
Anyway, I didn't actually address the OP yesterday, so I'll do so now. It's one of the more beautiful and well-done dashboards and visualizations on HN. Regardless, our tendency here would have been to marvel at the tech but not actually take in the data which is that a lot of people are now on drugs.
