Marijuana use surpasses alcohol as the drug of choice for first time ever

Puff, puff, surpass.

A new study has found that, for the first time in history, regular cannabis use among Americans is more commonplace than regular alcohol consumption.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon reviewed decades of data and found that more people are using marijuana than ever before. One-third of people who used cannabis in the past month reported using it daily or nearly every day. The portion of people who reported drinking daily or near-daily remained steady, at around 10%.

Study author Jonathan Caulkins told ScienceAlert, “It is striking that high-frequency cannabis use is now more commonly reported than is high-frequency drinking. The data come from survey self-reports, but the enormous changes in rates of self-reported cannabis use, particularly of daily or near-daily use, suggest that changes in actual use have been considerable.”

  1. Anyone surprised. Grow your own, get more seeds to plant, harvest and eventually paying NOTHING. When there is eventually free competition with big tobacco and alcohol, only one thing can happen. Prices drop. I will be around to see that!

    No tar, no nicotine, no other awful poisons in pot. Just natural harvest from the earth, get a buzz (dont drive) no hangover in the morning..no runny bathroom breaks…no bloating….just the munchies. Oh by the by…..haven’t had any issue with munchies! No cravings….get without all the poisons previous added to pot, there are no munchies. Hahahahaha.

    Not surprised and Carnegie mellon is a top notch college! Outside major metro low income cities, very RED, just like DELMArva. Damn low income rot inner cities.

    This guy Is a nut and people listen to him how safe these drugs are as he walks (don’t drive) into OC.

  3. Hey know labeler. Was just talkin about home grow pot. You know something different…or did YOU hear clean pot is bad.

    Also, how can doctors prescribe medical pot if it’s bad for you???
