Residents in states where marijuana is legal are more likely to engage in physical activities compared to those who live where cannabis is still prohibited. This correlation between legal cannabis access and increased physical activity levels has been a topic of interest for researchers in recent years. In fact, a study conducted by researchers from Brigham Young University has shown that there is a link between access to legal cannabis and increased physical activity.
The use of cannabis and hallucinogens remained at “historically high levels” last year in age groups of adults 50 and younger, according to a survey. This suggests that the legal of cannabis may have a significant impact on the overall lifestyle choices of individuals, including their engagement in physical activities.
In addition to physical activity levels, the use of cannabis and hallucinogens “stayed at historically high levels” among both younger and middle-age adults in the US in 2023. This indicates that the trend of increased cannabis use is not limited to one specific age group, but rather spans across different demographics.
Vaping among younger adults and binge drinking among mid-life adults also maintained historically high levels. This further highlights the potential influence of legal cannabis on substance use behaviors and overall health outcomes.
It is worth noting that 74% of Americans now live in a state where marijuana is legal for either recreational or medical use. This widespread legal may contribute to the observed trends in cannabis use and physical activity levels among the population.
Marijuana use is common among patients considering plastic surgery and is associated with elevated nicotine levels on laboratory tests. This suggests that individuals who use cannabis may also engage in other risky behaviors that could impact their overall health and well-being.
In a recent development, Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed her support for the federal legal of cannabis. This could have significant implications for the future of cannabis policy in the United States and may further impact the prevalence of cannabis use and physical activity levels among the population.
Overall, the number of U.S. adults using cannabis and hallucinogens remained at historically high levels in 2023 while alcohol use and binge drinking. This trend underscores the need for continued research and public health interventions to address the potential impact of legal cannabis on substance use behaviors and overall health outcomes.
