The latest Young Adult Health Survey<\/a>, conducted by researchers through the University of Washington<\/a> (UW), revealed daily cannabis consumption has never been higher among young adults.<\/p>\n

“How often in the last year, month or week have you used marijuana?” was one of the many questions 1,237 young adults anonymously answered in the survey.<\/p>\n

“The number of young adults smoking marijuana every day is higher than ever at 10.4%,” UW researcher Dr. Jason Kilmer told members of the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board<\/a>, according to The Center Square<\/a>. It’s the first time in the survey’s 10-year history that daily use surpassed 10%.<\/p>\n

Among those between the ages of 21-25, the percentage jumps to 14% daily use.<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed 54% of young adult survey respondents never use cannabis, while a quarter use it weekly. It’s the third year in the last four where at least 24% of surveyed individuals stated they use cannabis at least weekly. In 2014, the first year of the survey, the percentage was under 17%.<\/p>\n

It was also reported that 14% of respondents between the ages of 18 and 20 — marijuana still being illegal for those under 21 even where it is legal — said they used the substance.<\/p>\n

The survey followed up with more questions on how people under the age of 21 are gaining access to cannabis. More than half (58%) responded saying they get it from friends, but others cited their own parents.<\/p>\n

Kilmer stated that “15.77% got it from parents with permission,” The Center Square reported. That’s a 10% jump from 2014.<\/p>\n

The survey revealed that the 14% figure is the lowest since 2019, the last year before the pandemic and nearly 2% lower than survey results from a year ago.<\/p>\n

This was the 10th year the survey had been conducted in Washington, dating back to 2014 — just after cannabis was legalized in the state.<\/p>\n
