Getting high is becoming as American as apple pie.
Half of U.S. residents have tried marijuana, and 17% currently smoke weed — both new highs since the tune-in drop-out 1960s, a new Gallup survey released Thursday revealed.
The poll attributed the increases to growing acceptance of cannabis, with 23 states including New York, legalizing recreational use of weed and 38 states allowing the sale for medicinal purposes.
“As marijuana has become more available to Americans and legal in an increasing number of states, their reports of use and experimentation have increased too. Now, half of the country has tried it, while the other half say they never have,” Gallup said in its analysis of the findings.
The number of Americans who currently smoke marijuana has more than doubled since 2013 when only 7% admitted to using the drug
Over that same period, Gallup recorded a significant increase in the U.S. public’s support for the legalization of marijuana, which has grown from 12% in 1969 to 68% today.

For example, 57% of Democrats said they tried weed, compared to just 39% of Republicans and 52% of self-described independent or unaffiliated party voters.
Similarly, Democrats are nearly twice as likely as Republicans to currently smoke marijuana, 21% compared to 12%, with independents’ usage falling in between 17%
Not surprisingly, a higher percentage of young adults aged 18 to 24 (29%) consume pot, more than three times as older adults aged 55 and older (9%). Current use among adults aged 35-54 matches the national average at 17%.

And 50% voted for a demented fool for potus. Yep, makes sense. Morons smoke dope.
The medical professionals seem unable to see any correlation between COVID vaccines and clotting-related deaths.
I imagine that if any correlation between marijuana use and increasing rates of mental illness is observed, the medical professionals will also be unable to see that.
“50% of Americans tried weed, 17% regular smokers: Gallup”
Wow, man.
“No stems, no seeds, that you don’t need..Acapulco Gold is....*psssssssssssssssssss* bad ass weeeeeeeeed!”
I’m proud to say that I have never tried it. It was offered many times though. Growing up I had the “fear of dad” which stopped me. Then 27 years of military service and I didn’t want to jeopardize my career.
I have no use for smoking anything other than meats (briskets, ribs, roasts, hams) with a good dry rub! Much more satisfaction!
A drugged zombie nation isn’t going to make it.
Asia & Africa are the future.
Why am I not surprised half the country is stoned and high?!
The fear of dad is needed again.
I’ve never tried it, don’t know what a marijuana high feels like, and I don’t want to.
Good for you for not smoking dope!
It’s seen, but ignored.
Add in downplayed, strawmanized, parodied, outright concealed, etc.
Yep, and the permanent skewing of the brain cells and thought patterns are even more troublesome than the drugged state itself.
When I lived in Taipei, betel nut carts which sold betel nuts with concoctions of illegal substances were ubiquitous.
Explains our Rat presentation and too many rat politicians.
My dad threatened to kick my ass if I tried any drugs.
I went to an AC/DC show in 1980. Got high from all the second hand marijuana smoke. Fun drive home. I hosed off in the back yard before going in the house. As far as I know, he never figured it out that I was stoned.
This thread gave me the munchies, where did I put the Doritos?
Where else would you expect people to Taiwan on...
