POT LUCK –
May 27, 2025 – Young adults 19 to 30 are nearly three times as likely to use cannabis daily than drink alcohol daily, while adults ages 35 to 50 use both about equally. And as daily cannabis use becomes more common, it’s natural to wonder what such frequent consumption may or may not be doing to our health. Some people like to compare cannabis to other widely used substances, such as caffeine.
“If you drink too much coffee every day, there’s a tipping point, but research has shown that about two to three cups of daily caffeine use for a majority of Americans is fine,” said Rebecca Abraham, a critical care nurse who has worked on cannabis policy and is the founder and CEO of Plesio Health, a software and telehealth platform for cannabis care that’s based in Chicago. “In cannabis, we don’t know what safe daily use is for the average person and [at] what point it tips over.”
