For the first time, the number of Americans who use marijuana just about every day has surpassed the number who drink that often, a shift some 40 years in the making as recreational pot use became more mainstream and legal in nearly half of U.S. states.
In 2022, an estimated 17.7 million people reported using marijuana daily or near-daily compared to 14.7 million daily or near-daily drinkers, according an analysis of national survey data. In 1992, when daily pot use hit a low point, less than 1 million people said they used marijuana nearly every day.
Alcohol is still more widely used, but 2022 was the first time this intensive level of marijuana use overtook daily and near-daily drinking, said the study’s author, Jonathan Caulkins, a cannabis policy researcher at Carnegie Mellon University.
“A good 40% of current cannabis users are using it daily or near daily, a pattern that is more associated with tobacco use than typical alcohol use,” Caulkins said.

No wonder society seems broken. Weed is fun and all, but a a social drug it is note.

Weed is more social. You can share a pipe or a joint with others but when was the last time you drank out the same bottle or glass with somebody who isn't your wife?

Sounds like these people need to learn to deal with life instead of self-medicating. I am starting to think that I am the only one in the world who doesn't pump myself with drugs to get by in life.
If people will find God, eat reasonably well, and exercise often; they won't have to rely so much on chemicals (legal, illegal, liquid, vapor, etc.) to deal with the pressures of life.

Boomers: “millenials need to stop smoking drugs to get through life”
Also boomers: “I’m gonna vote for nafta and inflation while teaching my daughter to get fat and be a single mom so these millenials can never own a house, have a fulfilling factory job, or get married.”

I can always tell who daily users are. Long term use leads to major detachment.
