This decade and ibelive its going to just increase and increase, at least from the City where im from. In toronto almost everyone i know smokes pot, and hardly anyones planning on quitting before growing old, thus i see my generation as being the pot generation compared to my parents time Only the future will tell, but to the youngins smokin.. i say rock out with your cock out.
I believe that more teens smoke now, then ever before in the United States.. as for people of all ages.. .... there are 4 million daily marijuana users, 6.1 million "heavy" users, and 16.7 million regular users.... i think these are all 2009 estimates from the report cited below.

http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_stats.shtml\ Seems like use peaked in the late 70's, it's probably risen a bit since the last bar in 2003. As for actual weight amount, people probably smoked a lot more in past decades due to the fact weed in general use to be pretty shitty in the 60's and 70's compared to what can be found today.
damn....TheMadcapSyd, i cant see the link that you posted from Erowid. It says some '404 File not found shit' right now.. i am not sure if it is my computer or the URL link is not working properly. but yeah, i agree with you. Bud from the 60s and 70s often had mad stems and seeds, compared to todays weed which when bought from most people, is JUST buds none of the extras.
Probably. Feels like every single kid I see these day doesn't have anything holding them back from trying it.
