Colorado Moves Up List of States with Most Marijuana Users
Published at
iStock/Thinkstock(DENVER) — A new study shows Colorado emerging as the state with the second-highest percentage of regular marijuana users after the drug was legalized.
The study, by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, found about 1 out of 8 Colorado residents older than 12 had used marijuana in the month before they were surveyed.
The survey took place from 2012 through 2013; the survey does not include data from 2014, which is the year pot dispensaries opened in the state.
The study says Rhode Island is the state with the highest percentage of residents that used pot during the same time period.
