According to survey results from the 2020 Monitoring the Future panel study, marijuana use among college-aged students drastically has increased throughout the past five years. The study reports that marijuana use remained at historically high rates in 2020. Among college students, 44% reported using marijuana in 2020 compared to 38% in 2015, representing a significant increase. For young adults not in college, annual marijuana use in 2020 remained at 43% (the same historically high level as recorded in 2018 and 2019).
“The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed the way that young people interact with one another and offers us an opportunity to examine whether drug-taking behavior has shifted through these changes,” said Nora D. Volkow, M.D., Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse National Institutes of Health. “Moving forward, it will be critical to investigate how and when different substances are used among this young population, and the impact of these shifts over time.”
