Great posting - thats me exactly - I'm not hot on alcohol either; my genuine preference is for MJ - last night I put it to the test:
I am in the middle of a bout and my first monster should have arrived at 8pm - I deliberately had not imbibed my first mj at 6pm(as is my norm on coming home from work) - by 8.30 my head was a little "testy" but no CH - I then had 3 or 4 (with a tobacco mix which I know is just not cool in the US) untilmidnight - still no CH - my monster was again due at 2am - guess what - it failed to show up - I actually had a nights uninterupted sleep - perhaps the prednisone course I started kicked it into touch.
I can I beleive conclude for me that MJ is not of itself a trigger during a bout.
Nice to know I am not alone vis a vis MJ and CH's. Thanks again
