The latest Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey results on teens transitioning to adulthood show that more than 13% who are not in college are using marijuana on a daily basis. Conducted for the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), MTF is a national survey released in December every year, with a specialized focus on 19‐ to 22‐year‐olds released in the following September. This fall, the focus compared full‐time college students to their noncollege peers.
