Americans Smoking Marijuana POLL
Half of American adults have tried marijuana at some point in their lives, according to the results of a new Gallup Poll released last week. The figure, the highest ever recorded, continues the increase in the percentage of American adults who say they have experimented with cannabis, rising from only 4% when Gallup first asked the question more than 50 years ago.
Fully half (50%) of those surveyed in Gallup’s annual Consumption Habits poll conducted last month said they had used marijuana at some time. The national polling organization noted in an analysis of the survey that while this year’s figure is essentially unchanged from the 49% and 48% readings in 2021 and 2022, respectively, the increase is statistically significant from the 45% of adults who said they have tried marijuana recorded in 2017 and 2019.
