“...Over HALF of all adults in the US have smoked it.
10-12% of all adults in the US are current, regular users.
According to CDC.”
Admittedly I am an old guy, in the 80’s, I have lived all over the country, have been constantly employed up into my eighties, married to one woman for 50+ years, am a non-smoker but enjoy may beer, scotch and bourbon. I have been around! And, I don’t believe those statistics at all. I have known hundreds of people from all avenues of life and I can count on my hands the number of people I even suspicioned were smoking marijuana and fewer yet those on harder drugs. I have known the parents of a few, maybe half dozen who have died from opiods in the past 10 years - all well educated, from nice families, in their mid- 20’s to 30’s. -— just saying.
Take it up with Gallup...

Still not a random sample, so not validly extrapolatable to the general population.
