You can replace cannabis-restrictive words here with words relative to alcohol and you'd be correct still. In fact I'd say they're worse. They have their party buses, their bars, their holidays, their thousands of brands, and each have their own reason for doing it, yet they are either recreational or dependant. Some weed smokers are recreational and use it medically. I for example have bad sleep problems because of shooting pain in my right leg. It aids my insomnia greatly.
