ການສຶກສາຂອງ NIH ຄົ້ນພົບວ່າ ຜູ້ໃຫຍ່ໄວໜຸ່ມຫຼາຍໄດ້ໃຊ້ Marijuana ແລະ Hallucinogens ໃນປີກາຍນີ້

According to the survey, 43% of young adults said they used marijuana within the past year, a significant surge from 34% who said the same thing five years ago in 2016 and the highest share ever recorded since the NIH began tracking the numbers in 1988.

Monthly marijuana use reached 29% in 2021, up eight percentage points from the 21% recorded in 2016 and more than one in 10 young adults (11%) said they used marijuana daily, nearly doubling from a decade ago, the NIH ກ່າວວ່າ.

Young adults also reported record levels of hallucinogen use, with 8% saying they’d used it within the past year, more than double the 35% rate in 2011.Respondents said they used LSD, mescaline, peyote, mushrooms, PCP and ecstasy (although the NIH noted the latter drug’s use had dropped by two percentage points since 2016, which it said constituted a statistically significant amount).

Young adults also took part in high-intensity drinking–which the NIH defines as having 10 or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks–at the ອັດ​ຕາ​ການ​ສູງ​ສຸດ​ since the activity was first measured in 2005, reported by 13% of young adults in 2021 compared to 11% in 2005.

Rates of vaping nicotine and binge drinking (defined as five or more drinks in one sitting) increased last year after leveling off and dropping, respectively, in 2020 during the first year of the pandemic, the NIH said.
