Americans are now more likely to use marijuana nearly every day than they are to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol on a daily basis, according to a new federal study. The 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), released on Monday, shows that 21.4 million Americans over the age of 12 admit to using marijuana on a daily or almost-daily basis, which is measured as having consumed it on 20 or more days during a 30-day period. In comparison, 17.2 million Americans said they use alcohol every day or almost every day, using the same definition. When it comes to daily cigarette use, the survey only measures respondents who smoked them on each of the past 30 days, with 19.9 million saying they did so. It's official: pot is a more popular daily drug than alcohol or cigarettes. New data[1] from the federal National Survey on Drug Use and Health show that for 2025: * 21.4M daily/near-daily marijuana users * 19.9M daily/near-daily cigarette users * 17.2M daily/near-daily alcohol… pic.twitter.com/SqHQFlNPDY — Charles Fain Lehman (@CharlesFLehman) July 27, 2026 Daily or near daily marijuana use also outpaces that for nicotine vaping (17.5 million), cigar smoking (2 million) and smokeless tobacco (4.3 million), the results show. The fact that frequent cannabis consumption is now more popular than using alcohol or cigarettes comes as the latter two substances remain completely federally legal, and not subject to the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), while marijuana is still largely federally prohibited—although the Trump administration has reclassified medical cannabis as a Schedule III substance and is considering broader rescheduling. The latest results of the annual NSDUH, conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), also shows that teen marijuana use is continuing to decline, even as more states legalize cannabis for adults—undermining a key argument often voiced by opponents of the reform. Meanwhile, a prior study using NSDUH data found that more Americans now consume cannabis every day than drink alcohol on a daily basis. Since 1992, it showed, the per capita rate of daily cannabis consumption in the country has increased nearly 15 times over. Separate research based on the federally funded Monitoring the Future study showed that younger adults are nearly three times more likely to use marijuana than alcohol on a daily or near-daily basis. Gallup in 2024 reported that its polling data shows that American adults are now more likely to smoke marijuana than tobacco cigarettes.

With the federal recriminalization of hemp THC products looming in November, a growing number of states are enacting their own laws to ban intoxicating cannabinoid derivates. And most cannabis consumers in those jurisdictions are shifting their purchases toward licensed marijuana businesses, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by cannabis telehealth platform NuggMD and provided exclusively to Marijuana Moment, noted that several states are moving to ban hemp-derived THC products such as THCA—asking, “How have these bans affected your access to cannabis?” Fifty percent of cannabis consumers said they have decided to get their medical marijuana card in response to hemp restrictions, and another 6 percent said they have “switched to licensed dispensaries.” An additional 8 percent said they have had “trouble” finding cannabis products in the wake of state hemp product bans, while 8 percent said they don’t use hemp-derived products and another 8 percent said they weren’t aware of any changes to state laws. The other 20 percent of respondents said state hemp product bans have had “no impact” on their access to cannabis. Q1: “Several states have just banned hemp-derived THC products like THCA. How have these bans affected your access to cannabis?” n: % I got my medical cannabis card 292 50% I’ve switched to licensed dispensaries 33 6% I’ve had trouble finding products 45 8% No impact 116 20% I don’t use hemp-derived products 48 8% I was not aware of these state changes 49 8% “Hemp ban supporters claim the bans will improve public safety, while opponents have argued the bans could push consumers into the illicit market,” Tyler Elson, director of content at NuggMD, told Marijuana Moment. “Our poll suggests these fears may be overblown, at least among frequent consumers. Over half of poll participants said they responded to state hemp bans by getting their med card or switching to state-licensed dispensaries.” “But the potential for hemp bans to push consumers into the black market isn’t zero, and the risk increases in states without accessible medical cannabis programs or adult-use markets,” he said. “Nearly one in ten poll respondents reported having trouble finding products after their state banned hemp.” “Demand doesn’t go away when bans are enacted, and that’s something regulators need to consider before eliminating a product category many consumers have come to rely on as a safer alternative to opioids, alcohol, and other drugs,” Elson said. The survey involved interviews with 583 cannabis consumers who live in state-legal markets, conducted between July 16-20, and has a margin of error of +/- 4.06 percentage points. Hemp derivatives with less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis were federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill that President Donald Trump signed during his first term in office. But late last year, Trump signed new legislation containing provisions that will redefine hemp to make it so only products with 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container will remain legal after November 12—though he has since called on Congress to scale back the scope of the forthcoming restrictions. The new poll results come as a new bipartisan bill in Congress would reverse the scheduled federal ban on hemp products and put in place a number of regulations for manufacturing, labeling, sales and taxation, including an age limit of 21. Trump and White House officials have in recent weeks repeatedly called on Congress to delay, alter or reverse the ban. In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) last month, for example, White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought said the Trump administration wants lawmakers to “ensure the fair treatment of hemp products”—specifically citing Barr’s earlier amendment to keep many hemp products legal while adding regulations and taxes. The administration “welcomes the opportunity to work with the Congress to, at a minimum, update the statutory definition of final hemp-derived cannabinoid products to allow Americans to benefit from access to appropriate full-spectrum CBD products,” OMB separately said last month, “while preserving the Congress’s intent to restrict the sale of products that pose serious health risks.” In April, the president himself urged congressional lawmakers to again redefine hemp to avoid recriminalization of full-spectrum CBD products. “I am calling on Congress to update the Law to ensure that Americans can continue to access the full-spectrum CBD products they have come to rely on, and that help them, while preserving Congress’s intent to restrict the sale of products that pose Health risks,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on the same day his administration announced it is moving forward with rescheduling marijuana. “We must get this done RIGHT and FAST, especially for those who saw that CBD helps them,” he said. “Plus, I am told it will also help our GREAT FARMERS, who we love, and will always be there for.” The Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA), an alcohol industry trade association issued praise for the bipartisan hemp regulation bill, but said the measure’s tax provisions require “continued discussion.” The post Banning Hemp THC Products Drives Consumers Toward Licensed Marijuana Businesses, Poll Shows appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

A campaign that tried unsuccessfully to get a medical cannabis legalization initiative on Idaho’s ballot this year is pushing back against a top state official’s claims about its petitioning drive. Secretary of State Phil McGrane (R) said earlier this month that his office received “received numerous complaints concerning the petition process” for the marijuana initiative—adding that “even under the most favorable assumption” that every petition sheet turned in was timely filed and that every submitted signature was valid, activists still wouldn’t have met minimum requirements. He also said that possible illegal petitioning conduct has been referred to the State Police for “review and potential criminal investigation.” Now, in a letter to McGrane, a lawyer for the Natural Medical Alliance of Idaho (NMAI) says that the campaign “does not agree with several issues” the secretary of state raised—although he made clear that advocates won’t be pursuing a legal challenge to the decision to keep the measure off the November ballot. To be certified for the ballot, the team needed to submit signatures from at least 6 percent of registered voters as of the state’s last general election, which currently amounts to 70,725. They also needed to meet that 6 percent threshold in at least 18 of the state’s 35 legislative districts. But the secretary of state said they only turned in 58,024 county-certified signatures and met the local threshold in only 13 districts. The new letter on behalf of NMAI, signed by Jeremy C. Chou of Givens Pursley LLP, said that there was an “unusually high rejection rate” for the cannabis campaign’s petitions. “It appears that well over 10,000 signatures from registered Idaho voters were rejected based on technicalities or legally questionable grounds,” he said. For example, Chou wrote that the decision to reject signatures due to voters from different counties signing a single petition sheet “may have served a purpose when clerks had access only to county records, Idaho now maintains a statewide voter-registration database.” He also said the rejection of signatures because they were undated is “especially concerning because the governing statutes do not expressly require each signer to provide a date.” The NMAI attorney additionally questioned the decision not to accept signatures from voters deemed to be not “active,” writing that “the initiative statutes do not impose a specific registration timeline.” The letter from Chou also notes state officials’ concerns about circulator residency and petition warning requirements, saying that the campaign relied on a contractor to handle much of the signature gathering effort. “If the contractor inadequately documented residency or used an incorrect form, NMAI nevertheless acted in good faith to comply with Idaho law,” the letter, which was first reported by KTVB-TV, says. Regarding the secretary of state’s flagging potentially fraudulent petitioning activity—including the submission of a signature purporting to be from a person who died in 2021—Chou said the campaign “has zero tolerance for fraud and stands ready to cooperate with any fraud-related investigation” and arguing that “a small number of questionable signatures do not undermine the integrity of the broader signature-gathering effort.” Finally, regarding potential campaign finance reporting deficiencies related to disclosures for paid signature gatherers, Chou again put the blame on the petitioning contractor firm. “To the extent the concerns involve reporting of payments to petition circulators, NMAI engaged a professional contractor to manage circulator payments; that contractor held all payment data and was required by law to accurately report that information,” he wrote. “In any event, reporting deficiencies of this kind do not provide a basis for rejecting otherwise valid signatures.” Meanwhile, Black Peak, the petitioning contractor that NMAI first used before switching to a different one, responded to the campaign’s criticism, saying it “stands behind the work we did to help bring medical cannabis access to Idaho voters.” “Our petition circulators operated under clear rules and clear expectations. We collected identification from every circulator we hired, and we confirmed each circulator’s Idaho residency on three separate occasions during the application and onboarding process,” it told KTVB. “Every signature we collected was then subjected to a rigorous validation process, including a forensic handwriting review, before it was submitted.” “As for the Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho’s claim that our operation was disorganized, the record tells a different story. Black Peak did the job we were hired to do. The Alliance owes Black Peak a substantial sum for services rendered and has chosen to attack our work rather than pay its bills. Criticizing a vendor you have not paid is not accountability. It is deflection, and Idaho voters deserve better from a group asking for their trust. The problems on this campaign did not begin in the field, and they did not end there. Black Peak remains prepared to resolve any outstanding matters professionally, and we wish the effort to expand patient access in Idaho every success.” While the cannabis campaign submitted more than 150,000 total signatures in May, there were some recent indications that there could be an issue meeting the county-level requirement as well as potentially the statewide total. A judge ruled last month that signatures in Minidoka County were turned in too late to be counted. Separately, some petitions for the medical cannabis measure throughout the state were at risk of being thrown out due to the possibility they may have been collected by out-of-state circulators. Meanwhile, voters in November will see a different kind of cannabis proposal on the ballot: A constitutional amendment that the legislature approved to make it so only lawmakers could legalize marijuana or other controlled substances—preventing the reform from being enacted by voters via a future ballot initiative. While NMAI pursued ballot access for the legalization measure, Idaho lawmakers have also pushed back in other ways. Both the Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution this session urging voters to “reject” the medical marijuana petition. The measure, sponsored by the Senate State Affairs Committee, claims that cannabis legalization in other states has led to a host of harms, including “increased cartel activity, development of black market marijuana production, human trafficking, and increased crime rates” as well as “increased rates of serious health issues,” environmental harms and “safety concerns on job sites.” It argues that the marijuana initiative would not only increase costs to the state but that its list of approved medical conditions is “so broad that almost anyone could qualify.” “The Idaho Medical Cannabis Act lacks safeguards to such an extent that it would effectively legalize widespread recreational use of marijuana,” the resolution claims. “The legalization of marijuana would have devastating impacts on Idaho children and their families… The Legislature urges the citizens of Idaho to reject any effort to bring the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act to the ballot.” A statement of purpose filed with the legislation says it “addresses the devastating impact that legalizing marijuana has had on other states” and “identifies the significant problems” with the ballot initiative. Contrary to the claims made about marijuana reform in the legislative resolution, advocates often point to data showing that legalizing and regulating cannabis diminishes the size of the illegal market and has not led to increases in youth use. Meanwhile, NMAI recently released an analysis showing that Idaho could see more than $100 million worth of medical marijuana sold on an annual basis and up to $28 million in new yearly revenue for state coffers if voters approved the legalization initiative. The Idaho Medical Cannabis Act, which NMAI unveiled last October, would provide patients with qualifying conditions access to marijuana from a limited number of dispensaries and provide a regulatory framework for the market. Here are the main provisions of the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act: Health practitioners would be able to recommend medical cannabis to patients with conditions that include, but are not limited to, cancer, anxiety and acute pain. Medical marijuana patients or their designated caregiver could purchase up to 113 grams of smokeable cannabis, or 20 grams of THC extract for vaping, per month. The state would be start by issuing three vertically integrated cannabis business licenses, after which point it could license up to six total. Marijuana would be reclassified under state law as a Schedule II, rather than Schedule I, controlled substance. State and local law enforcement would be barred from assisting in federal drug enforcement activities related to the state-legal cannabis program. There would be anti-discrimination protections for those who use or sell marijuana in compliance from state law, preventing adverse actions by employers, landlords and educational institutions. It does not appear that there would be any equity-centered reforms, nor would the initiative provide for a home grow option. The campaign in February also released the results of a statewide poll showing that 83 percent of likely voters back medical cannabis legalization, including 74 percent of Republicans, 95 percent of Democrats and 92 percent of independents. Asked how they would vote if the current medical cannabis legalization does appear on the November ballot, 76 percent of respondents said “yes.” Of that cohort, 50 percent said they would “definitively” vote yes, and just 21 percent said they’d vote “no.” After the medical cannabis initiative was unveiled last year, a separate campaign that launched in 2024, Kind Idaho, told supporters that it would be suspending its own signature gathering for a ballot initiative to legalize the personal possession and cultivation of marijuana by adults. Kind Idaho previously introduced medical marijuana ballot measures intended to go before voters in both the 2022 and 2024 elections, but the efforts proved unsuccessful. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

States that impose high tax rates on regulated marijuana products are driving adult consumers to the illicit market, according to a new federally funded study. The research, published in the journal Health Economics, looked at past-month cannabis purchasing behavior of 1,525 adults aged 21 and older. Researchers with Ohio State University found that high cannabis taxes and prices are linked to “lower cannabis consumption and THC intake” from legal purchases, but that the majority of those reductions (89 percent) may be offset by consumers switching to unregulated products from the illegal market. “If the illegal market is restricted, policymakers can expect increasing cannabis prices using excise taxes to reduce both unit and THC consumption, while generating tax revenues,” the study said. “However, given the sizable illegal market, a large portion of the consumption reduction due to taxes may be offset by switching to illegal products.” States have worked to strike a balance between pricing marijuana low enough to transition adults to the regulated market but still high enough to generate revenue. The results so far have been mixed, with no firmly established universal price or tax rate. The study, meanwhile, also demonstrated that legal and illicit cannabis flower are essentially “substitutes for each other.” Raising the price of legal cannabis flower by 10 percent “results in a 0.9 percent-1 percent increase in illegal flower consumption (units and THC),” and the inverse follows a similar pattern, the researchers found. “While the cross‐price elasticities for unit demand between legal and illegal flowers are symmetric (not statistically significant), the cross elasticities for THC demand suggest that the increase in THC from illegal flowers in response to higher legal flower prices exceeds the increase from legal flowers in response to higher illegal flower prices.” Meanwhile, illicit flower seems to serve as a substitute for cannabis cartridges, as a 10 percent increase in the price of a THC cartridge drives consumption of unregulated flower by 0.4 percent. The study was partly funded through a grant awarded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the National Institutes of Health (NIH). “Many states are sacrificing the long-term health and sustainability of the legal cannabis market for theoretical short-term gains reaped by sky-high taxes,” Paul Armentano, deputy director of NORML, said. “Imposing excessive taxes on legal cannabis strengthens illicit markets while weakening legal ones,” he said. “It encourages consumers to seek out unlicensed sellers who don’t check IDs, who lack the means or the desire to test their products for quality or purity, who operate without any regulatory oversight, and who don’t redistribute their revenues back into their local communities.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Some states, it pointed out, are now generating more revenue from legal cannabis than from alcohol. A separate economic analysis released last month by Vangst and Whitney Economics found that, for the first time since state recreational marijuana markets launched in 2014, the industry saw a year-over-year decline in national revenue from cannabis sales in 2025.

“We understand there may be questions about where things stand and where we are headed.” By Christopher Shea, Rhode Island Current Seventy-five prospective Rhode Island cannabis retailers will soon receive $7,500 refunds as state regulators prepare to restart the licensing process that was halted under a federal court order. The Rhode Island Cannabis Control Commission on Friday received an update on the timeline for restarting the state’s cannabis retail licensing process after lawmakers eliminated the residency requirement that prompted multiple federal lawsuits that upended the first round of applications. The new cannabis law allows any would-be shop owners who applied the first time for a license to be refunded any fees paid to the commission. “We understand there may be questions about where things stand and where we are headed,” Michelle Reddish, the commission’s new chairperson, said during the meeting. “While we can’t respond to every headline or comment, we remain committed to being transparent about our work and providing updates where we can.” Mariana Ormonde, chief legal counsel for the commission, said during Friday’s meeting that emails would be sent to the owners of would-be pot shops who paid the initial fee with their applications. All prospective retailers are required to pay an application fee of $7,500 and a yearly $30,000 licensing fee. Fees were waived for the first year for approved social equity applicants. Over half of all applicants—56—sought general retail licenses. Another 19 were worker cooperatives while the remaining 23 were for social equity applicants, or those adversely affected by the war on drugs. “Starting today, after this meeting, the office will contact each applicant via email to ensure that the name that is going to be going out on that check and the address is correct,” Ormonde said. Since April 8, the Cannabis Control Commission has been barred from reviewing the 97 license applications submitted for 20 new retail cannabis licenses after a federal judge halted the licensing process amid three lawsuits challenging the state’s requirement that the majority of a business must be owned by a Rhode Island resident. But on June 10, Gov. Dan McKee (D) signed a pair of bills to undo the contested provision. The new law voided the original application process and directs the Cannabis Control Commission to open a new license application process within 60 days, which would be August 10. Ormonde believes regulators will be able to meet that deadline. But she did not commit to a firm timeframe when applications will officially launch since regulators are awaiting court approval, which U.S. District Court Judge Melissa DuBose said she would grant once the lawsuits are kicked down from Boston’s appellate court. Regulators also first have to set up a new certification process for social equity business, a specialty license reserved for those adversely affected by the war on drugs. The new statute eliminates any Rhode Island references in the eligibility criteria for applying for one of six social equity licenses. Businesses must still be majority owned by one or more people who can show they were disproportionally impacted by criminal enforcement of past prohibitions, including being arrested or having a family member who was. Ormonde said final license application criteria will remain the same as the first go-around, which required all would-be retailers to either own property or have a lease agreement before they even apply for a license, along with local zoning approvals.

Wisconsin’s governor is pushing congressional lawmakers to take action to “prevent mass disruption of the hemp industry” by stopping the planned federal recriminalization of hemp THC products that’s set to take effect later this year. “Hemp has become an increasingly important tool for agricultural diversification, rural economic development, and value-added manufacturing, creating new opportunities for Wisconsin farmers, processors, retailers, and consumers across our state,” Gov. Tony Evers (D) wrote in a letter to members of the state’s U.S. House and Senate delegations. “As Congress considers the future of federal hemp policy, it is essential that any changes provide the certainty and regulatory clarity needed for this emerging industry to continue growing and investing in Wisconsin.” Hemp derivatives with less than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC on a dry-weight basis were federally legalized under the 2018 Farm Bill that President Donald Trump signed during his first term in office. But late last year, the president signed new legislation containing provisions that will redefine hemp to make it so only products with 0.4 milligrams of total THC per container will remain legal after November 12. Evers is specifically asking federal lawmakers to prevent the new ban from taking effect by adding provisions to the next Farm Bill or by passing standalone legislation on the issue, saying he favors a “science-based federal framework that supports innovation, protects lawful businesses, and allows Wisconsin farmers and producers to compete in a rapidly evolving marketplace.” “A strong and needed revised hemp policy in the Farm Bill will also help maintain the over $700 million in economic production Wisconsin’s hemp industry provides, preserve at least 3,500 jobs in the state, strengthen rural economies, and ensure that Wisconsin farmers and businesses can continue building on the progress made since hemp was removed from the Controlled Substances Act in the 2018 Farm Bill.” “Wisconsin farmers and businesses deserve the certainty and support necessary to fully realize the economic benefits of this thriving sector,” the governor wrote, adding that he wants the Farm Bill to strengthen research on hemp and improve the industry’s access to crop insurance and financial services. President Trump's reckless policies and erratic trade wars are hurting our farmers. I'm urging Congress to not turn their backs on our farmers and reauthorize the Federal Farm Bill to: Invest in FoodShare Safeguard our hemp industry Support programs farmers depend on — Governor Tony Evers (@GovEvers) July 27, 2026 A press release from Evers’s office notes that Wisconsin had 470 federally licensed hemp producers as of last November, arguing that the planned recriminalization will force “closures, layoffs, and lost investment.” “The need to revise the federal hemp law is also critical to the state’s agricultural economy, as the growing of hemp has become a strong diversification option for Wisconsin farmers,” it says. “Without timely federal legislative action, Wisconsin producers may be forced to abandon hemp cultivation altogether, resulting in lost income and diminished economic opportunities, especially in rural communities. In a prior letter earlier this year, Evers similarly called on members of Congress representing Wisconsin to take action to save the hemp industry—saying the issue is “intensified” by the fact that the state has yet to legalize marijuana for medical or adult use. The governor has repeatedly pushed for the broader reform—including marijuana legalization in multiple budget requests, for example—but efforts to enact it have consistently stalled out in the Republican-controlled House and Senate even as adult-use markets have come online in neighboring states such as Illinois and Michigan. Evers is not seeking re-election this year, but he said last year that if his party can take control of the legislature, the state can “finally” legalize marijuana so that residents don’t have to go to neighboring Illinois to visit its adult-use market. Democratic candidates seeking their party’s nomination for governor spoke at a cannabis-focused forum last month, making pledges to advance the cause of legalization if elected even in the face of potential opposition from Republican legislative leaders. In February, a Wisconsin Senate committee approved a limited bill to legalize medical marijuana in the state, but it did not advance any further before the end of the session. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

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. Via SAMHSA. 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 SAMSHA study shows similar results when measuring past-month use: “Among people aged 12 or older, the percentage who used marijuana in the past month increased from 13.2 percent (or 37.0 million people) in 2021 to 15.1 percent (or 43.8 million people) in 2025. Among adults aged 26 or older, the percentage who used marijuana in the past month also increased from 2021 to 2025. However, the percentages among adolescents aged 12 to 17 and young adults aged 18 to 25 who used marijuana in the past month decreased from 2021 to 2025. For example, the percentage of adolescents who used marijuana in the past month decreased from 6.1 percent (or 1.6 million people) in 2021 to 5.0 percent (or 1.3 million people) in 2025.” To reform advocates, the results of the survey reinforce the idea that creating a regulatory framework for cannabis where licensed retailers must check IDs and implement other security mechanisms to prevent unlawful diversion is a far more effective policy than prohibition, with illicit suppliers whose products may be untested and where age-gating isn’t a strictly enforced regulation. SAMHSA Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Christopher D. Carroll said in a press release that “building on encouraging trends first reported in the 2024 NSDUH, in 2025, adolescents aged 12 to 17 and young adults aged 18 to 25 continued to show downward or stable trends in most behavioral health indicators over the past five years.” 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). Via SAMHSA. Prior research also suggests that marijuana use by young people has generally fallen in states that legalize it for adults. A report from the advocacy group Marijuana Policy Project (MPP), for example, found that youth marijuana use declined in 19 out of 21 states that legalized adult-use marijuana—with teen cannabis consumption down an average of 35 percent in the earliest states to legalize. The report cited data from a series of national and state-level youth surveys, including the annual Monitoring the Future (MTF) Survey, which is supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The latest version of MTF, released late last year, found that cannabis use among eighth, 10th and 12 graders “remained stable” even as mort states enacted legalization. Another survey from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also showed a decline in the proportion of high-school students reporting past-month marijuana use over the past decade, as dozens of states moved to legalize cannabis. A separate federally funded study out of Canada found that that youth marijuana use rates declined after the country legalized cannabis. A Canadian government report similarly found that daily or near-daily use rates by both adults and youth have held steady over the last six years after the country enacted legalization. Another U.S. study reported a “significant decrease” in youth marijuana use from 2011 to 2021—a period in which more than a dozen states legalized marijuana for adults—detailing lower rates of both lifetime and past-month use by high-school students nationwide. Separately, a research letter published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 2024 said there’s no evidence that states’ adoption of laws to legalize and regulate marijuana for adults have led to an increase in youth use of cannabis. Another JAMA-published study similarly found that neither legalization nor the opening of retail stores led to increases in youth cannabis use. In 2023, meanwhile, a U.S. health official said that teen marijuana use has not increased “even as state legalization has proliferated across the country.” The post Teen Marijuana Use Continues To Decline As More States Legalize It For Adults, Federal Study Shows appeared first on Marijuana Moment.

Vermont’s top marijuana regulator says a newly enacted law doubling the legal cannabis possession limit will help ongoing efforts to transition consumers from the illicit market to legal businesses. He also believes that provisions on interstate commerce could lead to the development of regional standards for the industry. “Anything that removes a prohibition will hopefully encourage more consumers to purchase regulated cannabis,” James Pepper, chair of the Vermont Cannabis Control Board, told VTDigger. Last month, Gov. Phil Scott (R) signed a bill allowing adults over the age of 21 to legally possess two ounces of marijuana or 10 grams of hashish—twice as much as they could previously. The new law also takes steps to potentially enable interstate cannabis commerce, creates a pilot program for marijuana sales at events and makes other changes to rules for licensed businesses. The enacted legislation allows the governor to enter into compacts with other states for cross-border cannabis trade, with the text noting that there is a “shifting federal posture on regulated cannabis markets” and saying it is “the intent of the General Assembly to prepare for the possibility of regional or interstate cannabis markets.” A provision says that such agreements could only move forward if federal law is amended to allow for interstate transfer of cannabis, if a federal law is enacted that blocks use of agency funds to prevent such transfers, if the U.S. Department of Justice issues a memo allowing or tolerating such activity or if the state attorney general certifies that entering into interstate marijuana commerce agreements “will not result in significant legal risk to this State based on review of federal judicial decisions and administrative action.” Pepper, the top marijuana regulator, told VTDigger that “if all of a sudden we wake up and the federal government is allowing for interstate commerce of cannabis products, we now have an easier path toward having regional standards for cannabis products.” He added that the pilot program for events—which will allow on-site sales, but not consumption—provide a unique opportunity for cannabis growers. “One complaint that the Legislature has heard consistently is that we don’t have an ability for a cultivator to kind of build their own brand,” he said. “There’s very little opportunity for a customer to know their grower and interact with the person that actually produced the cannabis that they’re purchasing.” — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Earlier versions of the bill would have altered potency restrictions for cannabis products, reduced taxes and allowed on-site consumption licenses and delivery services, but those provisions were removed during the legislative process prior to final passage. In 2018, Scott signed a bill to legalize marijuana possession and home cultivation and then allowed subsequent legislation to legalize commercial cannabis sales to take effect without his signature in 2020.

A congressional committee has approved a bill to require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study how prevalent drug testing for marijuana, fentanyl and other drugs is in hospital emergency departments. The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced the legislation in a unanimous 46-0 vote last week. The measure from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) is known as “Tyler’s Law,” after Tyler Shamash, a 19-year-old who died following a fentanyl ingestion in 2018 and was not tested for the drug when brought to the hospital for a suspected overdose. The panel’s Subcommittee on Health previously approved the bill last month. While the legislation, H.R. 2004, is largely focused on fentanyl, it says that within a year of passage the HHS secretary would need to complete a study to determine “how frequently hospital emergency departments test for fentanyl (in addition to testing for other substances such as amphetamines, phencyclidine, cocaine, opiates, and marijuana) when a patient is experiencing an overdose.” The study would also need to look at costs associated with fentanyl testing, the potential benefits and risks of such testing and how it may impact patients’ experiences—including with respect to confidentiality and privacy protections and the patient-physician relationship. The bill, which has 65 House cosponsors, says that within six months of completing the study, HHS would also need to issue guidance covering: “(1) Whether hospital emergency departments should implement fentanyl testing as a routine procedure for patients experiencing an overdose. (2) How hospitals can ensure that clinicians in their hospital emergency departments are aware of which substances are being tested for in their routinely-administered drug tests, regardless of whether those tests screen for fentanyl. (3) How the administration of fentanyl testing in hospital emergency departments may affect the future risk of overdose and general health outcomes.” “A simple drug test can mean the difference between life and death,” Lieu said in a press release. “Tyler’s Law is a bipartisan and commonsense piece of legislation. It is a privilege to work with Tyler’s mom, Juli, to honor Tyler’s memory and fight so no other family is forced to undergo such devastating loss.” The bill is expected to head next to the House floor after its approval by the committee. — Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year.

Jim Banks (R-IN) was approved by the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee in January—but not before being amended to remove the language that references marijuana and other drugs besides fentanyl. Unlike the House bill, the HHS secretary would have three years to complete the study on hospital drug testing under the amended Senate proposal. In April, a pair of Republican senators filed a separate bill that would require the federal government to track the cost of hospitalization due to marijuana use. The Marijuana Impact on Medicaid Act of 2026 from Sens. Ted Budd (R-NC) and Pete Ricketts (R-NE) would require the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to compile data on “Federal and State expenditures under the Medicaid program…that are attributable to costs incurred for providing medical assistance for inpatient hospital services, outpatient hospital services, and for services received at a hospital emergency room…related to marijuana use.” The bill’s language is similar to two amendments Budd previously filed on the cannabis and hospitalization issue that didn’t end up being considered on the Senate floor.

“The plan is to treat it much like alcohol, limit the marketing, and the advertising and put a framework and structure on it for those people that are already doing it.” By Kadin Luhmann, Iowa Capital Dispatch Dave Muhlbauer, Democratic candidate for Iowa lieutenant governor, defended gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand campaign’s cannabis legalization plan and discussed the importance of accessible behavioral health treatment for children Thursday during a campaign visit to the Ember Recovery facility in Cambridge. Ember Recovery, located in Cambridge, is part of YSS, a nonprofit organization in Ames that serves children who are facing mental health challenges, substance use and addiction, family conflict, crises and homelessness or unstable housing. Muhlbauer defends Sand’s marijuana plan Andrew Allen, president and CEO of Ember Recovery, told Muhlbauer that he is concerned about the Sand campaign’s plan to “legalize, tax and regulate” recreational cannabis for adult-use in Iowa. Muhlbauer is Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand’s running mate. Allen said children can be exposed to cannabis at extremely young ages, and the legalization of recreational marijuana in Iowa could potentially lead to more issues. “It’s something that you know causes some concern to us, especially as it relates to the perception of risk for young people,” Allen said. “I’m guessing we can all agree that young people should not be smoking marijuana.” Allen cited that 1 in 6 people struggle with substance abuse in their lifetime, with 90 percent of those people’s addictions beginning during their teenage years. “If someone is exposed to drugs or alcohol before age 14, it’s almost a 50 percent chance that they’re going to have an issue,” Allen said. “If you can keep them until age 18 from first exposure, it’s like 5 percent, so the longer we can delay the first exposure to drugs or alcohol, the better off all families are going to be. Our concern is that legalized recreational marijuana means a reduced perception of risk, more kids potentially using and more investments that we’re going to have to make as a state from a treatment standpoint.” Muhlbauer said young people accessing cannabis is not the “intent” of the Sand campaign, and if elected, Sand plans to regulate marijuana similarly to alcohol. “The plan is to treat it much like alcohol, limit the marketing, and the advertising and put a framework and structure on it for those people that are already doing it,” Muhlbauer said. Muhlbauer added that it is a focus of the Sand campaign to ensure young people will not be “enticed” by the legalization of cannabis. “I’m here today because I realize that behavioral health and substance use is a crisis in Iowa, and we want to do our part as well to make sure that we better treat our youth, so they have a brighter future,” Muhlbauer said. Mulhbauer cites family connection to Ember facility Muhlbauer said one of his children was admitted to the facility nearly one year ago during a crisis. Muhlbauer said he only knew of the facility because of a connection and would not have known where to go for help otherwise. “Last fall, we were harvesting corn, and later that evening, my wife met me at the door with our kids because we were in a crisis moment,” Muhlbauer said. “The uncertainty of where your family is at, the future of one of your kids, and knowing that they need help, but not knowing exactly where to go, it’s nerve-wracking.” Muhlbauer said his fears went away when he walked into the Ember Recovery facility, as the comforting environment led him to believe that the family was in “a good place.” Muhlbauer participated in a tour of the facility, and a roundtable discussion, where he and four others discussed gaps in Iowa behavioral health treatment for children, and what the Rob Sand for Iowa campaign can do to address the issue. “I’m here today because I realize that behavioral health and substance use is a crisis in Iowa, and we want to do our part as well to make sure that we better treat our youth, so they have a brighter future,” Muhlbauer said. During press availability after the roundtable, Muhlbauer praised Ember Recovery’s efforts in helping young Iowans. “The takeaway is the passion. There’s a genuine passion here to help young adults and youth get on the right path and see a brighter future,” Muhlbauer said. “Andrew has a bigger vision of Iowa being in a better place in these crisis areas, and you’re seeing that through their actions that are reaching people, and we’d like to help them reach more people and put us in the right direction.” This story was first published by Iowa Capital Dispatch.
