Among all adults ages 45 to 64, the rate increased by 355 percent, to about 0.4 percent of that population.The prevalence of marijuana abuse or dependence climbed from 1.2 percent of adults in 1991-92 to 1.5 percent in 2001-02, or an estimated 3 million adults 18 and over.
0.4 percent boomers vs. 1.5 percent all adults Seems like the rates of marijuana abuse or dependence is almost 25% less in boomers than other generations.

Statistically, most pot smokers quit in their 30's.
Basically they grow up -- some don't.
