Daily Marijuana Use Surpasses Daily Drinking in the U.S. for 1st Time, Study Finds
May 22, 2024, 02:20 PM
Daily and near-daily marijuana use has become more common than similar levels of drinking in the U.S., according to an analysis of national survey data spanning four decades. A new study published in the journal Addiction reveals that over 40% of U.S. cannabis users are daily or near-daily users. In 2022, an estimated 17.7 million people reported using marijuana daily or near-daily, compared to 14.7 million daily or near-daily drinkers. The study highlights a significant increase in marijuana consumption, with the average user now consuming about 300 mg of THC per day, compared to 5 mg per day in the 1990s, marking a 60-fold increase. This marks the first time that daily marijuana use has outpaced daily drinking in the U.S.
