This is a list of the annual prevalence of cannabis use by country (including some territories) as a percentage of the population aged 15–64 (unless otherwise indicated). The indicator is an "annual prevalence" rate which is the percentage of the youth and adult population who have consumed the herb at least once in the past survey year.
1 in 3 Americans claim to have used Marijuana at least once in their life.
Changing teen attitudes -- The Partnership for a Drug-Free America's 1999 Partnership Attitude Tracking Study (PATS) indicates that disapproval of drugs among 7th through 12th graders reflected their knowledge of drug-related risks. The study reported that the percentage of respondents strongly agreeing with the statement: "kids who are really cool don't use drugs" increased from 35 percent in 1998 to 40 percent in 1999. The teenage belief that "most people will try marijuana sometime" has declined to 35 percent, from 40 percent in 1998 and 41 percent in 1997. In addition, 68 percent of teens believed that a person who uses marijuana runs a higher risk of getting into trouble with the law — up from 64 percent in 1998.10 The 1999 MTF data support this trend: disapproval of trying marijuana increased among eighth graders, from 69 percent in 1998 to 70.7 percent in 1999. Likewise, disapproval of regular inhalant use increased among tenth graders, rising from 91.1 percent in 1998 to 92.4 percent in 1999. 11 Johnston, L.D., O'Malley, P.M., & Bachman, J.G., National survey results on drug use from the Monitoring the Future study, 1975-1998 Volume I: Secondary school students, NIH Publication No. 99-4660, (Rockville, MD: National Institute on Drug Abuse, 1999), c. 420 pp.
