Rate of habitual marijuana use?

Asked by Fieryspoon (1058points) February 4th, 2009

What’s the rate of people who smoke pot once, then proceed to smoke it ten times or more? Where can I find statistics like that?

Not sure where you would find these statistics, but I did want to take a second to point out that the statistics are likely underrepresented. Many people don’t admit to doing illegal things, or admit to doing some fraction of their true answer, when someone asks them for a survey.

Go to NHSDA. That page has some data. I’ll leave it to you to find the underlying data at the SAMHSA site. Marijuana Use and Perceived Risk of Use among Adolescents: 2002 to 2007 might also be of interest to you.

i know lots of people who have or do smoke pot, and none of them stopped after one time. so, i would say 98% of the people who try it once end up doing it again and usually again and again.
