Would weed be a good alternative?

Hey everyone!

I used to take xanax pretty often, and a few other benzos as well. I stopped for a year and a half and recently started again despite not particularly enjoying the effects. I started again because I often have these impulses to put myself in dangerous situations and it helped numbing that a bit.

I have also started drinking more and more too. And I hate that because I feel like it’s really a slippery slope.

But a few days ago, I asked my bf if he could try to get a spliff from someone so i could try, and I rlly enjoyed it.

I am wondering if I could completely stop benzos and alcohol and replace them with joints. Does anyone more experienced than me have any idea on the matter? I feel like benzos = rly rly bad for my health and alcohol = makes me more enclined to put myself in dangerous situations.

Please be nice to me, I am just a young woman trying to be responsible and moderate my addictions however I can lol
