American adults increasingly choose marijuana and psychedelics over cigarettes, Federally funded study finds
The study found that cannabis and psychedelics remain increasingly popular, with rates of use at “historically high levels in 2023,” the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) said.
“In contrast, past-year use of cigarettes remained at historically low levels in both adult groups,” it said. “Past-month and daily alcohol use continued a decade-long decline among those 19 to 30 years old, with binge drinking reaching all-time lows.” For those 19-30, 42 percent said they’ve used marijuana in the past year, 29 percent in the past month and 10 percent daily (which is defined as use on 20 or more occasions in the past month). For adults 35-50, those rates were 29 percent (past year), 19 percent (past month) and 8 percent (daily). While the 2023 findings were not statistically different from earlier 2022 results, they still represent “five- and 10-year increases for both age groups.”
