New Jersey ranks among the states whose residents smoke the most weed on a regular basis, according to a recent Gallup poll that profiled cannabis use nationally.

An estimated 9% of American adults use cannabis consistently, according to the results. Regular use was defined as 10 or more days of consumption per month. In another Gallup report, 17% of Americans reported some cannabis use in 2023.

New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania — defined as the Middle Atlantic Region in the report —had highest rates of consistent consumption, at 11%. That was tied with the region that includes Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, the report said.
