Marijuana use among Canadian teenagers has declined for 12 straight years, according to a study co-authored by UBC nursing professor Elizabeth Saewyc.
“What we see is that in 1990, there was about 26 per cent of boys and 24 per cent of girls who had ever tried it,” Saewyc told CBC Vancouver. “It peaked at 50 per cent of boys in 2002, and in 1998 it was 40 per cent of girls. But now, it’s 23 per cent of both boys and girls.”
