Use of Illicit Drugs Continues to Rise

Marijuana continues to be the most widely used illicit drug in the United States, with 15.9% of people aged 12 years or older reporting that they had used it in the past year, higher than in 2002 to 2017, according to the recently released 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). (Although medical marijuana is legal in most states, the federal government still considers cannabis to be illicit.)
