Never forget that what Big Weed is selling, above all, is addiction: The latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimated 32% of the 64.2 million past-year marijuana users 12 or older in America in 2024 had a cannabis use disorder (CUD), better known as addiction to marijuana. That’s 20.6 million Americans–about the same as the population of New York state. The profit-driven marijuana industry continues to produce and promote stronger products that are addicting millions and disrupting their lives.
