CNN (8/17, Viswanathan) reports, “Last year, more middle-aged adults were binge drinking, using marijuana or consuming hallucinogens than ever before, according to a new report.” In addition, “cannabis use surged among young adults under 30, alongside historic rates of vaping.” This “new data comes from the University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future panel study,” which is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
The Hill (8/17, Fortinsky) reports that the survey has been “conducted annually since 1975. Data for this most recent 2022 survey was collected via online and paper surveys from April 2022 to October 2022, according to the report.”
