Setting: United States, 2017.
Participants: 16 280 U.S. adults.
The response rate was 55.3% (n = 9003). Approximately 14.6% of U.S. adults reported using marijuana in the past year. About 81% of U.S. adults believe marijuana has at least 1 benefit, whereas 17% believe it has no benefit. The most common benefit cited was pain management (66%), followed by treatment of diseases, such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis (48%), and relief from anxiety, stress, and depression (47%). About 91% of U.S. adults believe marijuana has at least 1 risk, whereas 9% believe it has no risks. The most common risk identified by the public was legal problems (51.8%), followed by addiction (50%) and impaired memory (42%). Among U.S. adults, 29.2% agree that smoking marijuana prevents health problems. About 18% believe exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke is somewhat or completely safe for adults, whereas 7.6% indicated that it is somewhat or completely safe for children. Of the respondents, 7.3% agree that marijuana use is somewhat or completely safe during pregnancy. About 22.4% of U.S. adults believe that marijuana is not at all addictive. Limitation: Wording of the questions may have affected interpretation.
Conclusion: Americans' view of marijuana use is more favorable than existing evidence supports.

大麻带给平民幸福感，远离抑郁，焦虑，伴随着一点记忆降低和成瘾。但是大麻很廉价，消费一次不像进酒店那么贵。
说到成瘾，很多成瘾是隐形型的，糖是动物成瘾的标准实验药物，大家日常却不把糖当成成瘾物质。很多中餐添加剂吃着好吃，其实都有成瘾作用，要是美国全列为非法，你又要反对。大麻的成瘾作用显然被过度夸大。
法律应该是公平的，现在联邦法律对大麻的不公平是很明显的，取消这种不公平是必要的。
