The rise in craft beer sales has declined significantly the last two years. There's a prediction of a big shake out if the trend continues. Why? The beer industry says it is marijuana. This is not the government talking, it's not AG Sessions making claims, it is private industry. It seems beer drinkers are also locoweed users, and as locoweed has become legal and/or easier to acquire, beer drinkers are smoking more and drinking less.
As one alleged health expert in Denver is saying, if marijuana is a "gateway" drug to more potent narcotics, beer is the "gateway" drug to marijuana.
So all of you beer drinkers out there are apparently a short step from a life of drug addiction and crime..........
The bottom line is a drug is a drug.
We should've never repealed Prohibition.
And when I read and hear the righteous advocate criminalizing ALL drugs--tobacco, alcohol, locoweed, and narcotics--maybe even prescription opioids--then they'll have some credibility.
Until then, they are just picking and choosing among cultural desires.
