Marijuana and hallucinogen use, as well as binge drinking, reached"all-time highs" among Americans aged 35 to 50, according to a new report from the National Institutes of Health.
The data from the Monitoring the Future study, which tracks the substance use behaviors of adults 19 to 60, also found that adults aged 19 to 30 showed historic spikes in marijuana and nicotine vaping in 2022. Vaping marijuana also increased nearly 10% to 21% in the younger cohort, and remained relatively steady at 9% for the older group.
The older age group has experienced a gradual increase over the decade in drinking, including past-month use, daily drinking, and binge drinking, reaching 85% in 2022, but binge drinking reached a historic high of 29% that year, up from 26% in 2021 and 25% in 2017.
