Overall, the data revealed that respondents most commonly used over-the-counter (OTC) medications, while psychedelics were the least popular option for getting high at work from home. Now, it’s rather obvious how the accessibility, legality, and purpose of OTC medications may cause this outcome. It similarly seems apparent why psychedelics are uncommon in the workplace. It’s unlikely mid-shift hallucinations would produce a high-yield workday.
In our data set, nicotine usage was particularly concentrated in the younger and older age ranges. Specifically, 20.6% of nicotine-using respondents were in the 20 to 29 age range, while 24.7% were in the 50 and over cohort. With the relatively recent popularity of Juul products and vapes among American young adults, it seems to make sense that younger employees comprise a significant amount of nicotine users in the workplace. Indeed, according to a statistic found on singlecare.com, “20% of Americans ages 18 to 29 use vape products, compared with 16% of those ages 30 to 64 and fewer than 0.5% among those 65 and older.” Thus, it stands to reason that more traditional methods of consuming nicotine, such as smoking cigarettes or chewing tobacco, may be particularly common among those 50 and over in the workplace.
There’s a notable trend in our survey data: THC product usage had a negative relationship with age. THC product users are highly concentrated in the 20- to 29-year-old range, and this proportion gradually decreases as age ranges increase. Specifically, 33.8% of THC product users were ages 20 to 29, while 17.5% were 50 or older.
