A study by Carnegie Mellon University revealed that daily or near-daily cannabis use has surpassed alcohol consumption in the U.S. for the first time.

An estimated 17.7 million daily cannabis users were reported compared to 14.7 million daily drinkers in 2022.

This shift is attributed to changes in cannabis policy, including the Biden Administration's efforts to reclassify cannabis as a less dangerous drug.

Marijuana is now consumed by a broader age range, with older individuals accounting for more days of use.

Factors contributing to the increase in cannabis use include lower prices and the availability of new, potent products like edibles and vapes.

This trend marks a significant shift in drug consumption trends in the country, reflecting evolving attitudes towards marijuana and its increasing acceptance in society.

The findings highlight the growing popularity of marijuana as a recreational substance and its prevalence in daily routines for many Americans.

Despite concerns about the health repercussions of heavy cannabis use, public health policies are recommended to address potential issues.
