More people use marijuana every day than drink alcohol every day in the United States: This trend is increasing.

More people in America now use marijuana every day than drink alcohol every day. This is a big change from 40 years ago when very few people used marijuana daily.

In 2022, about 17.7 million people used marijuana daily, while 14.7 million people drank alcohol daily. Back in 1992, only 1 million people used marijuana daily.

Alcohol is still used by more people overall. But this is the first time daily marijuana use has become more common than daily alcohol use.

This increase in daily marijuana use might be because it is becoming more acceptable and legal in many places. However, using marijuana every day can increase the risk of addiction and other problems.

Doctors are worried that more people using marijuana daily could lead to more cases of addiction and mental health problems. It's important to remember that even though marijuana is becoming more common, it can still be harmful if used too often.
