12 States Smoking the Most Marijuana

By -



By Samuel Stebbins and Thomas C. Frohlich, 24/7 Wall St



Support for marijuana legalization in the United States has risen steadily over the years. Today, a majority of Americans are in favor of legalizing the drug, although the number of people actually smoking weed is far lower. Slightly more than 13% of Americans 12 years old and over report using marijuana in the past year.

Some states report much higher marijuana use than others. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the percentage of people 12 years old and over consuming marijuana at least once in the past year in every state from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Colorado leads the nation with 21.6% of people reporting use of the drug.



States with fewer marijuana restrictions tend to have higher cannabis use rates. All four states where recreational marijuana use is legal — Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington — are among the 12 states with the highest use rates. Every state on this list is among the 25 states where medical marijuana is legal. In these states, a physician may recommend marijuana for the treatment of a range of conditions, including cancer, Crohn’s disease, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, PTSD, eating disorders, chronic pain, and seizures arising from epilepsy and other ailments.

You lash out at loved ones. You tend to lose your temper over things other people wouldn’t even get worked up about. You harbor a lot of negative energy inside of your heart and sometimes lashing out is the only thing that you can do to get it all out. 3. You redo everything. Whether it’s a school paper, or an excel sheet for work, you redo it over and over again until your eyes are glazed over. You are a complete perfectionist and you can’t stop trying to please everybody else around you. 4. You self-medicate. You can’t just have one glass of wine at dinner if you are feeling terribly depressed. Alcohol is a depressant, but it ...

It’s Not Me, It’s Depression With My Face

Mental Health issues are renowned as being a health problem, that along with piles or a pus-squirting willy, people don’t talk about. I had always resolved to do anything I could, no matter how small, to change that. So in that spirit I will declare on social media that this year I have been suffering from depression. Before I go further I should say I’m getting much better now, thank you. Like most men I took a long time to realise I had a problem and then seek help. Being a doctor did not make me any quicker in this. If you’ve not had any experience of depression be it professionally, personally or through close family and friends, I think it is very hard to understand completely its effects. You really are not you. Your actions, thoughts and behaviour are not some deep truths bubbling to the surface. They are genuinely, at least for me, completely alien. Depression is also not consistent in its relationship with someone. So to those of you that have encountered me d...
