Substance abuse isn't about the "substance" part, it's about the "abuse" part. Naively taking away the substance doesn't address the root cause. The root cause is complex - life sucks, things are hard, and people want to escape.
I'm speculating, but I'd wager higher MJ use means lower alcohol use. On the surface this shouldn't make sense, but it does when you consider the perspective of needing to use something, rather than the something.
