Marijuana may get a bad rep in the media as far as the decriminalization debate goes, but its health benefits can no longer go unnoticed. With various studies linking long-term marijuana use to positive, health-related effects, there are more than just a few reasons to smoke some weed every day.

A study done by the Boston Medical Center and the Boston University of Medicine, examined 589 drug users—more than 8 out of 10 of whom were pot smokers. It determined that “weed aficionados” were no more likely to visit the doctor than non-drug users. If an increased risk of contracting ailments is what’s preventing you from smoking more weed, it looks like you’re in the clear!

One of the greatest medicinal benefits of marijuana is its pain relieving qualities, which make it especially effective for treating chronic pain. From menstruation cramps to nerve pain, as little as three puffs of bud a day can help provide the same relief as synthetic painkillers. Marijuana relieves pain by “changing the way the nerves function,” says Mark Ware, MD and assistant professor of anesthesia and family medicine at McGill University.

Studies have found that patients suffering from arthritis could benefit from marijuana use. This is because naturally occurring chemicals in cannabis work to activate pathways in the body that help fight off joint inflammation.

This report uses 2012 to 2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to assess past month marijuana use and perceptions of great risk of harm from smoking marijuana once a month among people aged 12 or older in 362 substate regions, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia.

Contains a set of data tables for each part of the Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People in England, 2021 report

This report contains results from the latest survey of secondary school pupils in England in years 7 to 11 (mostly aged 11 to 15), focusing on smoking, drinking and drug use. It covers a range of topics including prevalence, habits, attitudes, and wellbeing. This survey is usually run every two years, however, due to the impact that the Covid pandemic had on school opening and attendance, it was not possible to run the survey as initially planned in 2020; instead it was delivered in the 2021 school year. In 2021 additional questions were also included relating to the impact of Covid. They covered how pupil's took part in school learning in the last school year (September 2020 to July 2021), and how often pupil's met other people outside of school and home. Results of analysis covering these questions have been presented within parts of the report and associated data tables. It includes this summary report showing key findings, excel tables with more detailed outcomes, technical appendices and a data quality statement. An anonymised record level file of the underlying data on which users can carry out their own analysis will be made available via the UK Data Service later in 2022 (see link below).
