A recent Gallup survey indicates that cannabis consumption is most prevalent among lower-income and less educated individuals in the U.S., with 9% of adults reporting regular use. Usage rates are notably higher among those with a high school education or less (13%) and households earning less than $24,000 per year (16%). The survey also highlights that 19% of adults have used cannabis products in the past month, with variations observed based on age, income, and education levels, and regional disparities across U.S. Census divisions.
