MMWR Surveillance Summaries Vol. 65, No. SS-11 September 2, 2016   PDF   In this report National Estimates of Marijuana Use and Related Indicators — National Survey on Drug Use and Health, United States, 2002–2014 Alejandro Azofeifa, DDS; Margaret E. Mattson, PhD; Gillian Schauer, PhD; et al. MMWR Surveill Summ 2016;65:1–28 Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. In 2013, 7.5% (19.8 million) of the U.S. population aged =12 years reported using marijuana during the preceding month. Because of certain state-level policies that have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use, population-based data on marijuana use and other related indicators are needed to help monitor behavioral health changes. This report describes national trends for prevalence of marijuana use; initiation; perception of harm risk, approval, and attitudes; perception of availability and mode of acquisition; dependence and abuse; and perception of legal penalty for marijuana possession.
