I mean one is a legit medication for a lot of conditions so you could just be considered medicated. The other is just addictive poison and every alcoholic knows it's not doing them any good and slowly killing them sooo. Yeah.
How are you coming to this post and being the person the meme is about lol
Because the meme is fucking stupid and misleading. Cannabis actually does treat seizures, pain, muscle spasms and the list goes on. Go fucking give people shit for taking their antidepressants and seizure medications. It's the same difference.
This is my medicine bro, I need it for my condition of not being stoned

Oh I certainly do give people shit for taking prescription drugs without a prescriptionn.
Who said anything about that. Fact is, alcohol is never prescribed to treat seizures or depression or literally anything chronically and it's poison. You can't compare the two and the whole demonization of cannabis is just as much bullshit as the fact that most people can't afford to even see a doctor to get diagnosed or prescribed in the first place. It's all a big crock of shit.
It doesn't matter if a drug is prescribed sometimes. Both amphetamines and opioids are prescribed sometimes. But watch out kids - the amphetamines and opioids sold by the nice guy at the street corner are very bad. If you got marijuana prescribed - that's cool, take it as prescribed. If you didn't get it prescribed - it's a drug like any other.
Alcohol is also bad.
Yeah that's kind of true. You have to be careful. I think it's telling that the Germans rejected Oxy because it's basically just heroin with extra steps, but then allowed cannabis.
Ethanol is also a medication. It's used to treat both methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning, as well as the withdrawal symptoms from severe alcoholism (...which are able to kill a patient, unlike opiate/opioid withdrawal).
Hell, oxycodone is a medication; I got enough to kill a horse (which really isn't saying a lot; horses are surprisingly delicate animals) after a major surgery. But guess what? It's still addictive, and will kill you.
The fact that something might have a medical use doesn't preclude addiction.
That is nowhere near the same thing lmao. It helps treat poisoning related to being addicted to it or after you took poison. Cannabis treats conditions that don't have anything to do with being poisoned, pain, nausea, muscle spasms, seizures, loss of appetite, inflammation, depression etc. If you have chronic depression or seizures or muscle spasms or nausia or pain that can be treated by cannabis, it's a chronic medication for chronic illness lmao. Alcohol is not that. Alcohol might be used in very specific use cases for short term treatments but long term use it's just a poison. Cannabis is not poisonious, alcohol is.
Alcohol is also used in medication
It's also used as a treatment for methanol and antifreeze poisoning.
That's not even in the same ballpark, cannabis actually does treat seizures, pain, muscle spasms and the list goes on. Go give people shit for taking their antidepressants and seizure medications. It's the same difference. Alcohol can treat poison and alcohol withdrawal while you're quitting alcohol, cannabis can treat chronic depression and prevent seizures and isn't poisonous.
