That works out to more than 33 million adult marijuana users in the U.S. If America's marijuana users resided in one state, it would be bigger than Texas and second only to California in population. There are currently about 40 million cigarette smokers in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A new Gallup poll out today finds that percent of American adults who say they currently smoke marijuana has nearly doubled over the past three years. Regardless of whether they use it currently, nearly half of American adults now have first-hand experience using marijuana.
