    Back in 1968 they had an “anonymous” poll in my school asking about cannabis and alcohol use… The results of the poll in my class showed that about 14% had tried cannabis… This was a shock to me as I had personally used cannabis with every person in that room including the teacher… Canada still claims that about 14% of the country use cannabis… I am fairly certain that the true figure would be at least 50% since the 60s and probably a bit higher after legalization… I do know a few people my age who have taken it up since it became legal…

      Absolutely nowhere near this. 15% is pretty standard across most countries.

      You’re using an anecdotal experience in high school which is not reflective of the broader population.
