New today, a marijuana milestone has been reached in the United States. A recent study has revealed that the number of Americans who report using marijuana daily or near daily has now exceeded the number of daily drinkers. The study provides a comprehensive comparison of daily alcohol and marijuana use trends over the years.
Historically, in the 1990s, the number of individuals using alcohol daily was significantly higher than those using marijuana daily. However, as time progressed, a noticeable shift occurred. By the year 2020, the number of daily marijuana users had surged past daily alcohol consumers. In 2020, the study indicated that fewer than 18 million people reported using cannabis daily, while fewer than 15 million reported consuming alcohol daily.
