Overall use of alcohol is still higher in the U.S., but daily use is decreasing compared to marijuana.
Analysis of more than four decades of national survey data found that for the first time, in 2022, the amount of daily cannabis users outpaced the amount of people who drink alcohol at the same frequency.
This suggests trends in cannabis usage are shifting in line with changes in cannabis policy,"with declines during periods of greater restriction and growth during periods of policy liberalization," the study's author, Jonathan Caulkins, wrote. Plus, the 1992 survey recorded 10 times as many daily or near-daily alcohol users compared to cannabis, and now the 2022 data shows the median drinker drinking four to five days in the past month, compared to 15 to 16 days for the median cannabis user.
