The Monitoring the Future survey data also show big increases in vaping of marijuana and nicotine.
"In 2022, we are seeing that marijuana and hallucinogen use, and vaping of nicotine and marijuana, are higher than ever among young adults ages 19 to 30," said Megan Patrick, research professor and principal investigator of the MTF study.
About a third of the older age group reported using marijuana in the past year, an all-time high, up from 25% in 2021 and more than double the users in 2012 . Of this group, 4% reported past-year hallucinogen use, also a record high and double the reported use in 2021.among adults aged 35–50 has gradually increased over the past decade. Of this group, 85% reported past-year drinking in 2022, up from 83% in 2012.
Vaping among the older age cohort has remained at similar levels since first measured in 2019; 9% vaped marijuana in the past year, while 7% vaped nicotine."In 2022, marijuana use among young adults reached the highest levels ever recorded since the indices were first available in 1988," the study authors write. Both past-year and daily use hit record levels for the cohort of those aged 19–30.
Past-year use of hallucinogens — including LSD, MDMA, mescaline, peyote, mushrooms or psilocybin, and PCP — was reported by 8% of this age group. Most of the increase was driven by use of hallucinogens other than LSD, which accounted for 7% of the reported use.
