Alain Joffe explains that there are some marijuana advocates that believe marijuana is safer than alcohol. Similarly, they also believe that if marijuana becomes legalized, shifting consumption from alcohol to marijuana may have a positive effect on society. While there are no studies that support this theory, there are studies that debate the contrary. These studies conclude that the two drugs are “economic complements” and both alcohol and marijuana use would increase reciprocally (Joffe, 2004).
