Jan. 12, 2024 – Journalist and author Michelle Lhooq described getting “California sober” by quitting every substance except marijuana and psychedelics in a 2019 Vice article. Telling myself I can never have a drink or smoke marijuana is setting myself up for failure because I am such a black-and-white thinker,” Demi Lovato.
Some who adhere to the California sober lifestyle claim that it helps them cut back on alcohol. However, replacing booze with marijuana isn’t necessarily a safer choice, according to Anand.
“People who replace alcohol with marijuana are more likely to eventually start drinking again, compared to people who give up drinking and don’t use marijuana,” Anand said.
The Cleveland Clinic notes how marijuana can also have negative consequences, including causing short-term memory, learning and concentration problems, as well as short-term impairment of judgment and motor coordination, decreased motivation to finish things, and short-term and possibly long-term paranoia and psychosis.
