In California yes I have been prescribed medical marijuana. In my home state as of right now it is not available and illegal.
For me pot does not make me want to drink more then not. I simply am an alcoholic who likes to drink regardless....
However when I am making it a point to not drink Alcohol what so ever, Marijuana has brought me huge success personally in deflecting the want to drink. In fact after a month of not drinking I find that marijuana works far better and almost supercharges my creativity and completely almost makes alcohol sound gross. Really weird I know. That's just me personally. Formany I am sure that sounds completely ludacrist...
