Scott and SadieIf you have kids, you may be spending Sunday enjoying a springtime egg hunt in the grass. If you don’t have kids, you may just be enjoying the grass. (Disgusted we wrote that…)
Over the past decade, cannabis has become legal for recreational use in 24 states. That’s about half the country. But despite that, marijuana use has plateaued in the U.S.
There were several years of growth in getting high . . . but according to annual surveys, regular weed use has mostly leveled off over the past four years in America.
In 2025, 17% of people say they use cannabis daily for medical or recreational purposes. 11% say they use it monthly . . . 3% say “a few times a year” . . . and a whopping 69% say they rarely or never use marijuana.
Those numbers excuse the people who said they, “preferred not to answer.”
There are two notable differences in the data: Millennials are the generation where marijuana use IS still climbing steadily. And edibles are still becoming more popular, while SMOKING weed has declined in recent years.
That’s probably due to legal cannabis stores and commercial distribution . . . because edibles are convenient and discreet. But 25 years ago, your friendly local dealer didn’t have a pockets full of individually-wrapped gummies.
Cannabis is still the third most-used substance in the United States, following nicotine and alcohol. But not everyone is using marijuana responsibly, and has admitted to VIBING AND DRIVING.
53% of cannabis users say that they have consumed marijuana an hour or less before driving.
And 47% believe they either drive the same, a little better (15%), or much better (19%) after consuming cannabis.
So Triple-A issued a statement reminding people that weed, quote, “causes impairing effects that make it unsafe to operate a motor vehicle.”
