According to a survey supported by the federal government, the consumption of marijuana among young adults has reached historical levels in recent years. Daily consumption even surpassed daily alcohol consumption, with nearly 18 million Americans in 2022 reporting that they consume marijuana every day or nearly every day, an increase from less than 1 million thirty years ago.
Studies show a corresponding increase in disorders related to cannabis use - when people crave marijuana and spend a lot of time using it, even though it causes problems at home, at school, at work or in relationships. This is a condition that, according to researcher estimates, affects about 3 out of 10 marijuana users and can be mild, moderate or severe.
