Record Number of American Adults Have Tried Marijuana

According to a new survey, half of American adults have tried marijuana at least once in their lifetime. This marks a significant increase from previous years, with only 4% of Americans reporting marijuana use in 1969. The trend towards increased marijuana use aligns with growing support for legalization, as two-thirds of Americans now believe marijuana should be legal for recreational use. This shift in attitudes has paved the way for new ballot measures, such as the one upcoming in Ohio, which will give voters the opportunity to legalize marijuana in the state.
