WASHINGTON - A new government survey says more Americans are smoking marijuana, but other notorious illegal drugs have fallen off.
Nearly 7 percent of Americans aged 12 or older were illicit pot smokers in 2010, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, released Thursday. That is three million more users than earlier in the decade.
At the same time, meth use has plunged by about half and cocaine use - including crack - is down sharply in the last few years.
