Another win for drugs in the war on drugs.

More people in the U.S. are now smoking marijuana than cigarettes, according to a Gallup poll.
Cigarette use has been trending downward during the past decades, with only 11% of Americans saying they smoke them in a poll conducted July 5 to 26, compared to 45% in the mid-1950s.
Sixteen percent of Americans say they smoke marijuana, with 48% saying they have tried it at some point in their lives. In 1969, only 4% of Americans said they smoked marijuana.
Attitudes around both substances have also shifted dramatically.
Young adults are using marijuana and hallucinogens at the highest rates on record
In 2019, 83% of Americans said they thought cigarettes were "very harmful" to smokers, while 14% said they are "somewhat harmful." Nine out of 10 adults said in 2013 that smoking causes cancer, while 91% of smokers surveyed in 2015 said they wish they never started.
"Smoking cigarettes is clearly on the decline and is most likely to become even more of a rarity in the years ahead," Gallup Senior Scientist Dr. Frank Newport said. "This reflects both public awareness of its negative effects and continuing government efforts at all levels to curtail its use."

Smoking anything is bad, with that said, I always preferred marijuana to nicotine.

Never has support been stronger for federally legal marijuana. This "representative" government refuses to get off their asses and act on the issue. Yet they can mobilize within hours of a school shooting to draft new gun control legislation.

And Kentucky, where both grow exceptionally well, outright refuses to legalize.
Our state congress is full of fricking morons.

I've been doing my part. When I pass on in life I might get a greenhouse named after me for my charitable donations, and quality control testing.

So, there were a lot of dishonest people in 1969.

Marijuana is much better than cigarettes!

This is actually a better thing for the health of the population. Cigarettes are processed poison.

Only 11% are dumb enough to put that on their medical record and have their insurance premium go up.

I’ve always though weed led to more conventional smokes used.
