People who reported using cannabis in the past 12 months were asked where they usually obtained the cannabis from. Figure 16 displays the sources used to obtain cannabis over time. Almost three-quarters (73%) of people reported purchasing cannabis from a legal source (legal store or legal website), up from 2019 and 2022. Fifteen percent (15%) of people reported obtaining their cannabis from a social source (shared around a group of friends, from a friend, family member or acquaintance), and 5% reported growing their own cannabis or having it specifically grown for them; both represented a decrease from 2018 and 2022. Only 3% of people reported using an illegal purchase source (illegal store, illegal website or dealer), down from 2018. Two percent (2%) reported using another source, up from 2022 but unchanged from 2018; and 2% reported getting their cannabis from a storefront on a First Nations community (new in 2023).

Gleichzeitig ist der Alkoholkonsum gesunken, Trotzdem finde ich, dass man den Jugendschutz und den Schutz junger Erwachsener durch vermehrte und ansprechende Aufklärung verbessern sollte. Zuviel Konsum in jungen Jahren ist halt schädlich.
Nichtsdestotrotz zeigt Kanada doch, dass man den Schwarzmarkt erfolgreich austrocknen und so auch die Gesundheitsgefahren für die Konsumenten minimieren kann, wenn man nur will.
