Gen Z and Millennials are most supportive of legalizing it while Baby Boomers are the least supportive across generations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post_para\">Currently, 36% of Millennials use the drug followed by 34% of Gen X, 33% of Gen Z, and 22% of Baby Boomers. Of those who took our survey, 36% of cannabis users live in <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/laws-and-regulations.php\"><strong>states where it\u2019s not legal to use marijuana<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post_para\">Americans are split across generations on their preferred way to use marijuana. Gen Z and Gen X are more likely to smoke it while Millennials and Baby Boomers prefer to consume edibles. When it comes to vaping, Millennials vape the most, followed by Gen X and Gen Z.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post_para\">Interestingly, <strong>the generation using marijuana the most frequently is Gen X<\/strong>, with 89% using it weekly or more. While cannabis users mainly get the drug from adult-use <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/marijuana-dispensaries.php\"><strong>dispensaries<\/strong><\/a>, the second most common way is from family and friends. Across all generations, Gen Z is most likely to use a dealer, with 27% choosing dealers over legal avenues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post_para\">A surprising discovery is that 38% of Gen Z marijuana users think marijuana today is too strong. That\u2019s a higher percentage than all other generations. Only 13% of Gen X think it\u2019s too strong, 19% of Baby Boomers feel that way as do 22% of Millennials. It could be because Gen Z marijuana users are still experimenting with the drug and learning how to determine things such as the right <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/cannabis\/edibles-dosage-calculator.php\"><strong>edible dosage<\/strong><\/a>. While dispensary edibles tend to be accurately dosed, those purchased from a dealer can be variable and generally have much higher doses.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"heading_all\">Why do People Use Marijuana?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcf5978 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bcf5978\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"964\" height=\"1796\" src=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Marijuana-Perception-by-Generation-Sanctuary-Wellness_Graphic-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26394\" alt=\"Reasons Americans use Marijuana - Survey by Sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Marijuana-Perception-by-Generation-Sanctuary-Wellness_Graphic-2.jpg 964w, https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Marijuana-Perception-by-Generation-Sanctuary-Wellness_Graphic-2-161x300.jpg 161w, https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Marijuana-Perception-by-Generation-Sanctuary-Wellness_Graphic-2-553x1030.jpg 553w, https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Marijuana-Perception-by-Generation-Sanctuary-Wellness_Graphic-2-768x1431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Marijuana-Perception-by-Generation-Sanctuary-Wellness_Graphic-2-824x1536.jpg 824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 964px) 100vw, 964px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-816f932 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"816f932\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post_para\">The top five reasons Americans use marijuana are:<\/p><ol><li>Stress relief<\/li><li>Relaxation<\/li><li>Enjoyment\/fun<\/li><li>Coping with depression\/anxiety<\/li><li>Help with sleep issues<\/li><\/ol><p class=\"post_para\">1 in 3 Gen Z marijuana users use it because they\u2019re bored, and 32% say they do it to enhance their experience at activities like concerts.

Over 1 in 10 (11%) Gen Z and Millennials hide their marijuana use from friends, and 42% of Gen Z hide it from their family.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">When it comes to work, statistics show that 35% of cannabis users don\u2019t tell their employers about it. However, work doesn\u2019t keep some from using the drug with nearly 1 in 4 (24%) using marijuana before or during work. Gen Xers are most likely to do this followed by Millennials.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">Nearly 1 in 10 (9%) Americans don\u2019t use marijuana because of a job requirement. But there are other reasons why people refrain from using marijuana.

The oldest generation, Baby Boomers, are most likely to have a card followed by Gen Xers. Nearly half of survey respondents obtained it after doing a tele-wellness appointment, and 49% received a card from an in-person doctor\u2019s appointment.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">The main reason Americans seek a medical marijuana card is to help with anxiety, <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/cannabis\/health-benefits-medical-marijuana.php\"><strong>chronic pain<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/blog\/does-weed-cause-insomnia\/\"><strong>insomnia<\/strong><\/a>. Americans who have gotten a medical marijuana card say it\u2019s overwhelmingly helped their lives, with 95% saying their quality of life improved.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">&#8220;Patients with medical marijuana cards get discounted marijuana purchases, &#8220;explains John Dibella, the CEO of Sanctuary Wellness Institute. &#8220;The process to get a card often involves meeting with a doctor virtually or in person and going over your symptoms. Appointments generally take no longer than 10-15 minutes.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">With marijuana becoming more accessible in <a href=\"https:\/\/sanctuarywellnessinstitute.com\/locations.php\"><strong>locations across the U.S.<\/strong><\/a>, generations are altering the way they think and feel about it. The drug is no longer just something people smoke, but something that can be experienced through an edible, tincture, or even applied topically. As legality around it shifts and the cannabis industry expands, perceptions of people both young and old appear to be changing too.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\"><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"post_para\">In May 2024, we surveyed 1,017 people about their perceptions of marijuana and habits (if they use it). 25% were Baby Boomers, 25% were Gen X, 25% were Millennials, and 25% were Gen Z. Respondents ranged in age from 18 to 78 with an average age of 44. 44% were men, 54% were women, and 2% were non-binary or would rather not say.<\/p><p class=\"post_para\">For media inquiries, please
