Why do most people NOT smoke weed even though it's legal?

After the 3 years of legal weed in Thailand, we can see that weed is still a very niche product. Not many people are using it. Many weed shops stay empty all day and  probably survive only because of the few regular customers.

 

Why is it so? Why do most people not smoke weed? Why are most people absolutely okay with alcohol, but not weed?

Did you think just because it was legal everyone would start using it?

Kinda pisses on those 'drugs are bad' idiots fireworks doesn't it.

In my local there are about 5 smokers. There were 5 before, but just did it at home.

I think it's the opposite. When you're young, you can have a lot of fun stuff to do without getting stoned - girls, party, free sex etc. But when your old, weed might be one of your few options for fun.

Some of us have simply grown out of it.

 

And some haven't grown into it yet.

"Some". But I'm talking about "most".

 

To be fair, there are very few people I know who haven't, at some point, done both and more.

Simply because I don't like it.

I don't need it.

Not interested in it.

As simple as that.

Most people DO drink, at least in small quantities or occasionally. Those who never drink any alcohol are rare. But those who never smoke any weed are a majority. See the difference?

Weed was used in "spiritual practices" ie ceremonies.

People are misusing it today.

It wasn't meant to be smoked daily just to get a buzz.
