Survey: 8% of Americans Resolve to Quit or Reduce Cannabis Consumption in 2026 

A new survey suggests that 8% of Americans resolved in the New Year to quit
or reduce their cannabis consumption. The survey, conducted
by Censuswide on behalf of nicotine pouch retailer Northerner found more
than half of respondents who said they wanted to change their cannabis
habits believe it will improve their independence and flexibility.

Another 47% believed changing their cannabis habits would make them feel
more accomplished, with 40% thinking it would help them lead a more active
lifestyle and improve their mental and emotional well-being.

Just 5% of 45- 54-year-olds polled wanted to quit or reduce their cannabis
consumption compared to 13% of 21- 24-year-olds, and 12% of
25- 34-year-olds. Double the number of men (12%) wanted to quit or reduce
their cannabis consumption compared to women (6%).

About 10% of respondents said they wanted to quit or reduce their
alcohol consumption, and about 12% said they wanted to quit or reduce their
tobacco use.

The survey included 1,000 U.S. adults who were asked about their New Year’s
resolutions.
