Americans spent more on legal cannabis in 2022 than chocolate,
beer:

Americans spent roughly $30 billion on legal marijuana last year
while spending around $20 billion on chocolate

A report from MJBizDaily showed Americans spent roughly $30
billion on legal marijuana in 2022 while only spending
around $20 billion on chocolate.

The cannabis purchases eclipsed sales of "feel-good" products,
including beer, opioid medications and topical pain relief,
the report stated.

. . .

  That's just the DOCUMENTED consumption ...

  Remember that book where everyone, with govt urging,
  were popping 'Soma' all the time - and thus did not
  know what the fuck was going on or why nor care ?

Not comparable. Soma was a drug designed to keep people out of government business or questioning the system of pre-birth poisoning
to create the lowest class of society.
One of the reasons for the high cost and expenditures on cannabis products is the Taxation of the products containing cannabis.
Lots of Cannabis users both recreational and medicinal are
heavily involved in politics. The real drugs to keep people unaware
of government machinations are the endless sports shows and the
distraction posed by anti-Transgender, the foolish idea of grooming
by transgender poeple, Drag Queens and books about real history of the
USA, which does not delete black history or the atracities of the years
both befdore and after the Civil War, of the whites against the formerly enslaved populations. Critical Race Theory is taught in Law Schools not
in the education of children.
Oh and by the way I do about 15 mg, of THC both Sativa for pain
and Indica for sleep saily and it does not affect my awareness of
anything but pain. BTW I am 85 and striving for 86 and have been using
cannabis in one form or another for about 45 years off and on until i
hit my 70s when I got a medical cannaibis card and became a regular
consumer of edible cannbis products.
