Marijuana use among college students is on the rise in the United States!!!


Weed utilization among understudies is on the ascent in the United States.

Investigations of American understudies demonstrate that every day pot utilization was more prominent than cigarette smoking interestingly a year ago.

Studies found that 5.9 percent of understudies said they utilize weed consistently. Understudies guaranteed to have smoked no less than 20 times in the earlier 30 days. That is a 3.5 percent expansion from 2007, and the most astounding rate subsequent to 1980.

Just five percent of undergrads reported utilizing tobacco day by day.

More understudies are exploring different avenues regarding the medication interestingly, too.

Twenty-one percent of understudies reported having utilized cannabis once or more as a part of the earlier 30 days. That is a 4 percent expansion from 2006. Thirty-four percent of those addressed said they utilized pot as a part of the earlier year, four percent more than in 2006. Be that as it may, the levels seem to have leveled off subsequent to 2014.

The University of Michigan's Monitoring the Future study reported the discoveries. Lloyd Johnston was the lead analyst. He said, "It's unmistakable that for as long as seven or eight years there has been an increment in pot use among the country's undergrads. What's more, this to a great extent parallels a build we have been seeing among secondary school seniors."

Less Dangerous Than Tobacco

Mr. Johnston said the fundamental driver for the expanded utilization of marijuana is the conviction that it is not as perilous as tobacco. He indicated investigations of secondary school graduates between the ages of 19 and 22. In 2006, 55 percent of those addressed said standard utilization of marijuana was hazardous. After eight years, that number dropped to 35 percent.

He said this is most likely a consequence of expanded legitimization of medicinal and recreational marijuana utilization. It is lawful to utilize cannabis for recreational purposes in four U.S. states and three U.S. urban areas. Twelve different states have legitimized marijuana for therapeutic purposes.
