Marijuana Use in Substate Areas (State treatment planning areas)

 

The NSDUH Report:  Marijuana Use in Substate Areas (State treatment planning areas)

Highlights:

  • By combining three years of data from SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health from 1999 to 2001, SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies was able to produce substate estimates of substance use. These substate areas were the State designated treatment planning areas for that time period.
  • In 1999 to 2001, past month use of marijuana varied from 2.3% in Northwest Iowa and 2.6% in Southern Texas to 10.3% in Boulder, Colorado and 12.2% in Boston.
  • Of the 15 State treatment planning areas with the highest rates of past month marijuana use in the United States, five were in Massachusetts, three were in California, and two were in Colorado.
