American Marijuana Use Up

Despite 70+ years of criminal prohibition, marijuana still remains widely popular among Americans, with over 102 million Americans (41 percent of the U.S. population) having used it during their lifetimes, 26 million (10 percent) having used it in the past year, and over 15 million (6 percent) admitting that they use it regularly.

Because hundreds of thousands of marijuana seeds need to be planted to keep up with the demand for marijuana bud from consumers. To produce heavy yielding marijuana plants excellent genetics in the way of marijuana seeds are needed.

Government scaremongers claim these cannabis seeds produce marijuana plants more potent than ever before.

Predictably, the government’s long-standing prohibition and anti-pot ’scare’ campaigns have done little, if anything, to dissuade young people from trying cannabis.

By age 20, 45 percent of adolescents have tried pot.

But very few have grown marijuana with cannabis seeds.
