Increase in cannabis use among high school students in Canada after legalization: study via TheGrowthOp
A recent study has shown an increase in high school students’ consumption of the drug immediately preceding federal legalization Oct. 17 last year.
This is up from 2014-2015 when 15 percent reported occasional use and 9 percent reported regular use. The report took data from an annual survey completed by Alberta and Ontario high school students known as the COMPASS Study. Rates of regular and occasional cannabis consumption were highest among Indigenous students at 55 percent and 46 percent, from 2017 to 2018. The lowest reported rate of use was among Asian teens, at 17 percent and 14 percent, respectively.
