Multiple outlets report that daily marijuana use among American adults reaches a new milestone, exceeding daily alcohol drinking. The reported figures indicate that daily cannabis use rises markedly over the period from 2022 to 2025, with an overall increase cited as 21%. The growth is described as particularly pronounced among adults aged 26 and older, who are characterized as driving much of the shift.
The coverage frames the change as a comparison between two “daily use” measures—daily marijuana use versus daily drinking—based on new or updated data. While the articles emphasize the scale of the increase and the fact that cannabis daily use moves ahead of daily alcohol consumption, they do not present additional context in the material provided here, such as the absolute percentages, the survey methodology, or how frequently other substance-use patterns occur. Overall, the outlets agree on the central point: Americans’ daily marijuana use is rising and, by the latest reported numbers, is higher than daily alcohol use.
