Legal cannabis results in increased use but a reduction in alcohol use which can only be a good thing for the individual as well as society.

Prove it.

Perhaps that's a bit too difficult.

Let's just say: "Provide a scrap of evidence for it".

Prove that normal people who drink a moderate amount of alcohol - or
even immoderate amounts of it - will drink less and start smoking
(*smoking!*) drugs, whether cannabis or tobacco.

Are non-smokers going to start smoking?

I shall not, for one.

Once again you prove your ignorance on the subject.
Edibles are also available and the most popular.

Free clinics for hard drugs has been proven to result in a reduction is use and far fewer deaths from overdose and impure product as well as a reduction in acquisitive crime.

In other news, free clinics for illnesses and diseases of all kinds have
been proven to result in reduction and fewer deaths

So you agree, thanks for your support.

and prison sentences have been proven to result in a reduction in acquisitive crime.

Completely the opposite unless you are suggestion life without parole for all crimes.

I shall assume you meant to type something a little different.

Acquisitive crime is rather inhibited whilst a thief in prison
(temptation to steal from other inmates excepted).

The longer the sentence, the longer-lived the protection.
