According to a new report from the Public Health Institute, adults in America are smoking more cannabis.

The findings from the report found that the increase in use is not because there is more marijuana available however.

According to the Public Health Institute, marijuana consumption among women almost doubled between 1984 and 2015, from 5.5 percent of adults to 10.6 percent.
The report found that 14.7 percent more men are smoking pot since 2000.

“Results …did not show significant increases in use related to medicinal marijuana legislation,” said lead investigator William Kerr.

“It appears that the passage of these policies reflects changing attitudes toward marijuana use, rather than the other way around.”

The study also revealed that older people aged 50 to 59 are smoking more. Men increased from 0.5 percent of the age group to 11.6 percent, which is a growth of 2,220 percent. Women went from 0.1 percent to 7.3 percent, which was a 7,200 percent increase.

“These increases are the results of both age period cohort and period effects. People born before 1945 had very low lifetime rates of marijuana use,” said Kerr.
