Cannabis-infused drinks could help cut back on alcohol, according to US researchers. The researchers surveyed 438 adults who reported using cannabis. Nearly 56 per cent also consumed alcohol. About a third reported using cannabis-infused beverages. Those who used cannabis beverages were more likely to say they substituted cannabis for alcohol (58.6 per cent). In addition, they reported consuming fewer alcoholic drinks after starting cannabis beverages and also reported binge drinking alcohol less frequently compared to before.
