Nearly half of American adults, 48%, report ever trying marijuana. That’s up from 4% when Gallup first asked about it 1969.
But far fewer people smoke it, pollsters found. A record high 16% of people say they regularly smoke marijuana, about 4% more than last year. Gallup also asked Americans, for the first time, about marijuana edibles and found that 14% consume them."The vast majority of people who consume marijuana edibles are also marijuana smokers, but not all marijuana smokers consume edibles — just over half, 57%, say they do," Gallup says.
Men are more likely than women to say they have ever tried marijuana, but the two genders are similar in their self-reports of smoking marijuana and consuming marijuana edibles. People with a college degree are about as likely as those without one to have ever tried it or to use it currently. Democrats and independents report similar levels of marijuana use; Republicans are less likely to use it, and less likely to have every tried it.
