U.S. college students are using marijuana at the highest rates in 35 years, according to a report released Thursday.
About 43% of full-time college students said they used some form of pot at least once in the past year, up from 38%, a University of Michigan survey found. About 25% said they did so in the previous month, up from 21%.

“About 6% of college students said they used marijuana 20 or more times in the past month. For adults the same age who weren’t enrolled in college, the figure was 11%.”
So, college students are far less likely than their peers to be habitual pot users.
Good news for the Democratic-Communist party
One other element of this story though....the non-college crowd is working, paying taxes, and probably has some income resources to put forward to pot. The college crowd....unless mom and dad are handing the kid a fair amount of pocket-money....they generally lack the resources to do pot daily.
If I was graduating with a degree in some hugely paying major like transgender studies or zoology of the sex habits of the Australian wombat, and it was leaving me in six figure debt I’d get stone too.
The college kids I see appear to be wealthy.

To those of us who smoked in the 60’s and 70’s, keep in mind that the weed of today is 5-20X the strength of what we had back then (even if you had “Maui Wowie” or “ Michoacan” , the average weed is much stronger today).
/don’t ask me how I know.
Oh boy, the more dope, the more stupid, but stupid people don’t know that....Smoke that dope, but be prepared to reap the consequences....
give people a choice and they always do the smart,healthy choice.....NOT!
Another stupid *ss generation on its way up. Expect more homeless psychotics. Do we really need another rash of “too young to die” stories?
Dude There’s edibles now forget about smoking
Edibles will very soon rule the world
Wonder how many of these mass shooters are habitual drug users. Much more politically correct to blame the gun than to focus on the downside of drug use. Also these “students” should have drug screening before the government goes on the hook for “student loans”. Dumb to lend money to a druggie.
The dope cheerers on this site will be overjoyed by this new statistic.
Helps loads with the leftist brain wash.
What is legal is not beneficial. All these doped up morons are going to start killing people soon.
And all you dope defenders can go pound sand. I ride motorcycle and can smell these morons cars driving down the road more and more often. Idiots.
Dude whatcha doin? “Standing here”. But Dude you been here for three days. “I know, cool huh? You gotta a taco or a bag of Cheetos on ya?” Heeheeheee! College at work.
Obama was such a mentor. /sarcasm
As more and more states legalize it, what did you think was going to happen?
what do you expect, between the debt they take on and the Kafkaesque Communism running rampant on the campuses, anything that gives anxiety relief is going to be attractive to them
SSRI antidepressants are rumored to be the drugs associated with mass shooters. Those are prescription meds.
