Why are more Americans choosing marijuana over alcohol?
Puff puff pass.
Some like one in five people who do dry January say they're smoking weed instead. And more Americans are now smoking weed daily than drinking daily. Current president is into it. No one should be in jail merely for using or possessing marijuana, period.
Future president is into it. I've had friends and I've had others and doctors telling me that it's been absolutely amazing, the medical marijuana.
Failed president and former prosecutor was down to clown? People shouldn't have to go to jail for smoking weed. Even health-conscious brainworm guy likes it.
My position on marijuana is that it should be federally legalized.
Everyone's getting down with pot, but legislatively we're still stuck with a hot mess in the United States. We're going to see what we can do about that on Today Explained.

Maren Kogan, senior correspondent at Vox. What's up with weed right now?
So researchers found in 2022, for the first time, more Americans were using marijuana every day or nearly every day than consuming alcohol at the same rate.
More Americans are doing daily weed than daily booze.
Yeah, it's a huge phenomenon. And if you think about it, the numbers are something like 17.7 million Americans say that they're getting a little high or smoking a little weed daily or near daily. That's not nothing. That's like 5% of the American public.
So I smoke marijuana sometimes a lot every day, and I'll tell you.
I smoke weed all day, so I would imagine it would be worse if I didn't.
How much do you smoke a day?
Probably an ounce, like a cool jizz. Jesus! We burning a cool ounce.
This is all based on survey data. It's self-reported use. So are these people taking a little hit of a vape pen before they go to bed to deal with insomnia?
BRB, about to escape and enter my magical fantasy world. It just calms me down.
I'm able to sleep comfortably and I stay asleep. It's much easier and much more pleasant, the whole experience, because when you do sleep, You sleep like a log. I sleep really well.
Are they people who wake and bake? You thinking what I'm thinking? Wake and bake. Let's go.
Good morning to all the wake and bakers.
It's time to wake and bake.
Are they people who are basically getting a little high before they go to class, before they go to their jobs? Getting late before work, guys. Cheers.
It's called self-care, look it up. So I'm on my way to school and I gotta smoke.
I gotta smoke before school. We don't know how many times a day those people are using. We also don't know the potency of what they're using. So there's a huge range and variation. What we do know is that the market right now for marijuana and the number of sales are really going towards customers who are using very heavily. So we're talking multiple times a day.
