Cannabis And Hallucinogen Consumption Hit All Time Highs In 2023 While Tobacco And Alcohol Declined
Cannabis and hallucinogen consumption among U.S. adults maintained historically high levels in 2023, according to the latest findings from the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey.
The survey, which tracks substance use behaviors and attitudes, revealed that the prevalence of these substances among adults aged 19 to 50 showed little change from previous years, indicating sustained levels of use.
