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 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 ...

Israeli fashion designer’s use of Palestinian 'keffiyeh' in her line draws criticism

An Israeli fashion designer, Dodo Bar Or, has launched a new women's line using the patterns of the keffiyeh, famous for representing the Palestinian struggle, causing a controversy over the applicability of political symbols in fashion. Keffiyeh, known as 'puşi' in Turkish or also as 'desmal' in Kurdish, is a traditional scarf-a-like headdress used by Middle Eastern people, including Arabs, Kurds and Persians, and it is typically made of cotton. It comes in black and white, but also in red and white, checkered shape patterns. A number of Palestinians have voiced that they were offended by the Israeli designer's line, as the keffiyeh has come to symbolize years of Palestinian struggle against the Israeli occupation. The black and white version was used by the Palestinian Liberation Organization's former leader Yasser Arafat from the 1960's onward, but it later on came to represent the Palestinian struggle and movement. Meanwhile, in other par...
