This paper analyzes data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) to study trends from 2012-2023 in cannabis use among U.S. parents with children <18 years old. We show that rates of daily or near-daily cannabis use have tripled since 2012. Today, 1 in 13 parents uses cannabis on the majority of days, compared to 1 in 39 parents in 2012. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest a lower-bound estimate of 5.7 million U.S. children now live with a parent who uses cannabis on the majority of days.
