Weed is recession proof like tobacco or nicotine because of habit or addiction

Weed is a consumer discretionary. In a recession, if people had to give up something - I can picture weed being one of the first things people give up. It isn't a necessity like rice or chicken. However, I know in hard times people do want to numb their feelings. Alcohol and weed are ways to do that.
