Local Pot consumption surpasses alcohol use nationally and locally



POT CONSUMPTION SURPASSES ALCOHOL USE NATIONALLY AND LOCALLY

By Joe Cardosi

4 hours ago


A new study out of Carnegie Melon University says daily marijuana use in the
United States now outpaces daily alcohol consumption.

A local recovery expert says the same can be said here in Louisiana.

Mason Smith is at Avenues Recovery Center in Metairie.

“Marijuana, at this point, is the most widely used elicit substance in the
United States.”



He says most patients seeking help for drug or alcohol use are also habitual
marijuana users.

“It is safe to say that the majority of our patients that come in; whether
marijuana is their primary drug of choice, or whether it is secondary of
tertiary; It is always in the mix.”



The study found that with social stigma around marijuana fading and an entire
industry creating consumables and vape products, use is on the rise.

Smith adds that the weed people are using now is stronger than ever.

“The vapes now with marijuana allow people to consume a much higher dosage.”

The study found that as pot regulations relax, its popularity and general
acceptance is likely to keep growing.
