That is possible.  Are there regulations in your area that prevent the
dispensaries from selling you weed above a "certain power" (I don't know
how that is measured in weed)?

Your alcohol "stamina" is likely increasing.  Remember your first few
drinks and how easily you got drunk?  Then remember how it started to take
a few more?

It is also possible that Budweiser has lowered the alcohol content.

Also, remember how eating before, or while, drinking makes it more
difficult to get a buzz.

The longer you drink, the more it takes for you to feel a buzz.

Why wouldn't they want you drunk is what I would ask.  Inebriated people
usually make poorer decisions, as do stoned people, so I would expect that
a drunk populace would be to their advantage.

I would check but I would suspect your local IPA probably has a higher
percentage of alcohol in it, and may have always been that way.
