Good points, but a question because I see that comment a lot: When you say 'we' had a millenia long relationship with alcohol, who's included in that 'we'? If we're talking humanity writ large, we've had a millenia long relationship with weed as well - just limited to people in areas of the world where it grows under natural conditions. Think the Indian subcontinent, China, etc.

This wiki article (by no means an authoritative source itself) is an interesting read. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cannabis

Will admit I'm being a bit pedantic, but at many points through my life I've heard people talking about cannabis as if it's some completely net new thing, which simply isn't true unless you're talking about very specific societies.
