Coke Blows, Weed Grows: 6 Million Americans Smoke Pot Every Day

Well…Shucks. What do you know?

As Americans wise up to the relatively benign nature of smoking pot, a 2014 report published by the RAND Corporation is claiming that America’s stressed-out masses have more than doubled their use of marijuana from 2000 to 2010.  Great !

According to the RAND report, an estimated 18 million Americans smoked weed more than four times a month back in 2010, with approximately 6,000,000 of those smokers firing up on a daily basis. This number represents a massive influx to the 420 Smoke Circle from 2010, when data suggested that approximately 11,000,000 people throughout the US got high more than four times a month – while only 2 ½ million people were firing up on a daily basis.

Per Newsweek, “The RAND study also details some interesting changes in how much Americans are paying for drugs: every year, Americans spent upwards of $100 billion on marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Most of that amount is spent by what the report identifies as the “majority of very heavy users,” who get high 21 or more days per month. By comparison, Americans spent a comparatively paltry $21 billion on booze in 2010.”

Acknowledging that accurate data on undocumented cash purchases of illegal drugs is a tough nut to crack, the report stipulates the actual numbers may vacillate greatly. Case and point: Rand’s best guesstimate on marijuana purchases for 2010 was approximately $41 billion throughout the US, however the report also suggested the potential sales numbers could hover somewhere around the $30-$60 billion range.
