And about a quarter of the people I know (in their 30's,40's,50's,60's) still indulge.Some more than others.And they are all highly functioning,intelligent, adults that hold down steady ,decent ,full-time jobs and contribute to society.Some are parents.Most are really decent human beings.They're not pill heads or drunks crashing their cars or beating their spouses.Just sayin'....

Cannabis use in America

It seems I misspoke. (of course, this is a mere distraction to my day)

1 in 8 current users. Tried is almost half of population.

One will note an increase the last 3 years, as well as CO reported fastest growing segment seniors. All of which indicates a legal and taxed environment created an increased use for certain segments which would not if it was legal.

Personally, I think all polls dramatically understate actual cannabis use in the U.S.

With U.S annual consumption (medical/rec/illegal) projected anywhere from $40B-$120B, that would certainly indicate much more than estimates.
