"Daily Marijuana Use Surpasses Daily Drinking in the U.S., Study Shows"

A new study analyzing four decades of national survey data reveals that daily or near-daily marijuana use has surpassed similar levels of drinking in the U.S. for the first time in 2022. With an estimated 17.7 million people using marijuana at this frequency compared to 14.7 million daily or near-daily drinkers, the trend reflects changes in public policy, including the legalization of medical or recreational marijuana in most states. However, experts warn that high-frequency marijuana use increases the risk of addiction and cannabis-associated psychosis.
