美国每日使用大麻的人数已增至1 800万,这促使人们呼吁更加严格地管制,以应对公共卫生风险。 Daily marijuana use in the U.S. has risen to 18 million, prompting calls for stricter regulation to address public health risks.

经过十多年的合法化之后,美国大麻的使用激增,现在每天使用大麻的人数从2012年的600万人增加到1 800万人,使公众关切的公共健康问题,包括吸毒成瘾、精神错乱和驾驶能力受损。 After more than a decade of legalization, U.S. marijuana use has surged, with 18 million people now using it daily—up from 6 million in 2012—sparking public health concerns including addiction, psychosis, and impaired driving. 虽然合法化减少了注射吸毒者的类阿片使用量,但专家警告说,无管制的扩展造成了意想不到的伤害。 While legalization reduced opioid use among people who inject drugs, experts warn unregulated expansion has caused unintended harms. 《纽约时报》现在呼吁制定更严格的规则:提高税收、限制强效大麻和打击虚假医疗索赔。 The New York Times now calls for stricter rules: higher taxes, limits on potent cannabis, and crackdowns on false medical claims. 尽管存在风险,但不建议恢复禁止;相反,决策者应当采取注重减少伤害、公共教育和公平准入的均衡监管。 Despite the risks, a return to prohibition is not advised; instead, policymakers should adopt balanced regulation focused on harm reduction, public education, and equitable access.
