Who is doing marijuana?

By the way you've phrased this question I assume you mean; "what kinds of groups use marijuana?" so on that basis I'll give you my answer based on personal experience, and observation through literature. The answer? basically, everyone. Not everyone as in every person on the planet, but most all groups of social classes, cliques, ages, and other forms of communities all have at least some percent of their population that uses marijuana. Thought to be only used by teenagers and some young adults, marijuana is a use of all ages, and social classes. Yes, a lot of teenagers, (everywhere in our country, not just the big cities) have at least tried marijuana, however it is a drug used on college campuses, in the work place, and older citizens either retired or younger (30 to 60). I personally know at least ONE person from all of the categories I just listed, and chances are I'm not the only one, most studies show a great number of American citizens smoke marijuana, both legally and illegally.
