"lifetime pot usage continues to grow and now stands at 44%."

Useless statistic. "Lifetime usage" (aka 'ever used') means that an individual has tried marijuana at least once sometime in their life.

The significant percentage is "past 30 days usage". These are the users. And that number is 6-7%.

Why is that the significant measure of being ingrained in the social fabric? Seems to me having used in one's youth and later quit counts toward being ingrained in the social fabric.
