In reply to the discussion: How many people smoke pot? [View all]Bennyboy
(10,440 posts)39. I think that is ridculous....
In 2012, 5.4 million persons aged 12 or older used marijuana on a daily or almost daily basis in the past 12 months (i.e., on 300 or more days in that period), which was an increase from the 3.1 million daily or almost daily marijuana users in 2006 (Figure 2.15). The number of daily or almost daily users of marijuana in 2012 represented 17.0 percent of past year users.
That might be half of California's number... certainly not the nations..... 5 million pot smokers? that's ridiculous.

There's quite a price differential between $2K a pound here and $6k on the East Coast.

That's "daily or almost daily" though. Not all smokers do it so frequently.
