Opponents of marijuana legalization often argue that allowing adults to consume cannabis without punishment will cause more underage teens to use it—but that isn’t what is happening, according to the latest results of a new federal drug survey.The 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), released on Monday, shows that 8.7 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 17 use marijuana within the past year.That’s down from 14.2 percent in 2011, the year before the first U.S. states legalized recreational cannabis.Although politicians and organizations that oppose ending marijuana prohibition have warned that the reform would lead to skyrocketing teen use, that hasn’t occurred.In fact, teen marijuana use has declined—dropping considerably over the last several years even as use by adults has risen.The new NSDUH report, published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), shows that marijuana was the most commonly consumed illicit drug, with more than a fifth of population over the age of 12 (21.2 percent) having used it within the past year.That amounts to 61.6 million cannabis consumers, according to the federal government report, representing an increase from 2021, when 19 percent reported using cannabis in the past year.Marijuana use in 2025 was highest among young adults between the ages of 18 and 25 (33.7 percent), followed by people 26 and older (20.6 percent).The federal survey also looks at the methods by which people are consuming cannabis, finding that smoking was the most common, (74.8 percent or 46.1 million people), followed by eating or drinking (49.2 percent or 30.3 million people), vaping (39.2 percent or 24.2 million people) and dabbing waxes, shatter, or concentrates (14.5 percent or 8.9 million people).>https://www.marijuanamoment.net/teen-marijuana-use-continues-to-decline-as-more-states-legalize-it-for-adults-federal-study-shows/

>>539726951Because the shit they grow today is too high in THC and gives people panic attack>inb4 weed addicts come in blathering about how they're just weak pussies who cant handle itYeah no shit faggot that's why less people are doing it.
>>539726951I can't quit
>>539726951Marijuana is a fad and it's a taboo so when you are told that you can't do it you want to do it and then when you are told that you can do it you begin to not want to do it so much anymore. I did it for like a year and then just without even trying or thinking about it I just stopped. Like I don't buy it or need it or anything anymore
Even though I enjoy cannabis, I hate how potheads deny the downsides of it. It genuinely is a sort of goynip: it kills motivation to fix things. I was using it for pain and sleep, but I had to quit because I have too many things fucked in my life that I need to address and weed isn't helping me get off my ass.
>>539726951stoners are some real dopes
>>539726951I think the earlier kids try pot the better they get sick of it while it still doesn't matter much for their lives
Smoking weed is unc coded.
>>539727751If you talk like a nigger people are going to think you're a nigger.
>>539726951best part of legalization is that you don't have to interact with slimy psychopathic faggots who think they are pablo escobar because they sell an ounce of weed a week and are in a mountain of debt because of their coke habitespecially as a girl
>>539727038Aryans smoked weed thousands of years ago. Drugs like that and other psychedelics may have been vital in our spiritual development. Who the fuck are you to tell me what's "bad" and "must be destroyed", mister fucking shithole UK of all people. Some miserable, bootlicking stiff busting his hump to be left with nothing but a crumbling country at the end of the day. I'll take my chances, thank you very much.
>>539727971Based
>>539727620I am high 24/7 and have never been in better shape or career positioning. My field is extremely stressful, so I go smoke…not rocket science. People are just lazy and want an excuse
>>539727381solikeno control on the users end like using half a pinch or something?even a few beers for someone who never had alcohol before may make them sickthen again punishing people for trying something and having a bad reaction so fuck it
>>539726951Makes sense to me.Your mum smoking weed probably makes it alot less cool and rebellious.
>>539726951Alcohol is so legal in the U.S. that it was less available for me to get than hard drugs as a teenager.
>>539728284maybe you just associated it with your mum smoking it every time before her boyfriend fucked you up the ass, ever thunk of that you stupid hag?
Weed is the most fun when you're a teenager though, not even because of the whole more responsibilities as an adult mean you get more anxious when you're high because I personally don't really get that, it's more sneaking out to meet your shithead buddy in the woods to smoke and buying goyslop gas station food like you will as a teen and all that type of shit you do stoned doesn't really happen the same way as a adult. Weed itself is fun but looking back, especially now having quit completely because of potential work drug tests it was everything surrounding it that made it really fun. Legal weed honestly feels kinda lame, the little I've partaken since legalization became common lol
>>539726951>>539727038>>539727381>>539728183>>539728284I think a lot of anons here don't really realize this federally sanctioned weed shit is fucking genuine thrice or quadruple street prices.. what are they asking people about street weed? fucking doubt it, plus zoomers love sucking on chinese metal coils covered in perfumes inside vapes and other shit so who gives a fuck what degenerates think to begin with. If I wanna open up my dopamine receptor and orgasm my brain that's what I want, FAGGOTS. Do you think I can just skull fuck you right now and get that satisfaction? No! So I smoke, because I WAIT.
>>539728817>this federally sanctioned weed shit is fucking genuine thrice or quadruple street pricesworth it, if one doesn't have to deal with your kind (whatever that is)
>>539728874I understand you like selectively reading and saw big capitalized "FAGGOT", deciding to assume it's about you but my post is the most realistic and grounded way to interpret weed other than "Deeeeeud broooo im so hiiiiigh maaaaaan"
Imagine that, people don’t like having anxiety attacks and heart palpitations
>>539726951It’s probably harder to track now that they’re able to get it at home
>>539727256Is that why you’re turning Japanese?
>>539728284You may be on to something. Underaged Drinking alcohol in the home with family has normalized rather than glamorized drinking in Europe. It’s some you can do when you get together with family and friends without getting blackout drunk.
>>539727381>too high in thc
>>539727381Im mean ill be honest. Ive been smoking since I was 21, now 37, and tend to smoke and then take long breaks... I know what THCa is and all that but after taking T break and smoking I got 3 panic attacks, the only time in my life, each one I talked myself down, the first one I ALMOST called 911, but then I realized its just all in my head
>>539727620Indica>>539728136Sativa
>>539726951who would have thought that kids are trill seekers and want to do things that are considered illegal. >mom smokes all day long at home and I'm constantly high from exposureWHY THESE KIDS REFUSE TO GET HIGH IN THE PARK AND PROVIDE JUSTIFICATION FOR PIGS TO EXIST?!?!actually this is a reason why jews are trying to ban cigs while raising prices so future kids think it's cool to smoke cigs in the basement and get jailed for months for each fag
>>539727381May I present a counter argument without you freaking out about it?The higher THC percentages means you should use less material. You shouldn't be igniting and inhaling ANYTHING but if youre gonna, why not smoke 0.5g instead of 1g for the same effects but half the smoke inhalation?
Higher than a motherfucker.
I smoked daily for about 3 years and it severely impacted my life. I never smoked before work but the minute I got home I'd be on my first cone or joint.I'm simply too impulsive and nigger brained to have it in my house without just smoking it every day. Luckily I was set up enough to recover from the set back, but most people would have lasting impacts from the situation I got myself in. I became a stoner at 25, but now I barely smoke, run a fairly successful business and own property with a son and wife.If was 18 when I started smoking daily I'd be a fucking loser right now.
I sincerely believe that if every anti-weed person dropped dead, the world would be a better place. They epitomize some of the worst traits in humanity and function as a disease on mankind
>>539730902Bro are you me? Same shit, started at 25 but it's already 10 years now. I quit for 7 months but recently back at it because I moved at my sisters' place as I'm renewing my flat and she has a lot of weed at home. 7 months i spent without I was dry-drunk all the time. I did a lot of useless shit like taking research chemicals or doing HIITs until I felt sick 5 days a week. I'm glad you made it out without hardships
>>539727620When will lazy pieces of shit start taking accountability for being a lazy piece of shit instead of blaming a plant. Liberal nigger faggot behavior.
>>539732417Initially I had a friend mind it for me and would only smoke with him. He had a more healthy relationship with it so it helped me gain some self control.
