Daily or near-daily marijuana use was reported by 5.9 percent of college
Daily or near-daily marijuana use was reported by 5.9 percent of college
quote:
students in 2014—the highest rate since 1980, the first year that complete college data were available in the study. This rate of use is up from 3.5 percent in 2007. In other words, one in every 17 college students is smoking marijuana on a daily or near-daily basis, defined as use on 20 or more occasions in the prior 30 days.
Other measures of marijuana use have also shown an increase: The percent using marijuana once or more in the prior 30 days rose from 17 percent in 2006 to 21 percent in 2014. Use in the prior 12 months rose from 30 percent in 2006 to 34 percent in 2014. Both of these measures leveled in 2014.

Every day is a little much. I wonder what the statistics are for occasional use.

Wait, are you trying to tell me college kids smoke that evil plant?

What about alcohol uses though? I care more about the uses of alcohol and weed. Not one or the other. If kids are smoking more weed and drinking less, whats the big difference

That weed is better for them than alcohol?

Meanwhile the baby boomers are popping Viagra at an all time high just so they can keep their dick from limping in front of Tammy at their local Urologist. You selfish SOBs.

I think it is interesting it is the highest since 1980. I would have assumed we are currently in peak weed use.

How many of the college students lied about their use?
Posted on 9/9/15 at 12:33 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
