The claim
"The number of New Yorkers who consume cannabis daily or near daily is the same as the number of New Yorkers who buy coffee from a coffee shop daily or near daily — 1.2-plus million people."
Original review summary
The review says a 2024 survey estimated about 1.2 million New Yorkers age 21 and older consume cannabis daily or near daily, but available estimates of daily coffee purchases are higher. It notes that the coffee evidence is difficult to apply specifically to New York because much of it is national, and that some other research suggests store-bought coffee consumption exceeds daily or near-daily cannabis use.[S1]
