Overview
- Past-year use reached 9.8% in 2024, continuing a gradual rise from 8.8% in 2021 and 4.5% in 2012, according to the national addiction survey.
- The 2024 survey was conducted from August to December, and study authors report only a minimal, statistically non-significant change immediately after legalization.
- Consumption remains dominated by smoking joints, with many mixing cannabis with tobacco (about 88.6% joints; roughly 68–70% with tobacco), which experts warn heightens health risks.
- Supply patterns shifted as about one fifth of users reported self-cultivation and roughly a quarter reported membership in non-commercial Cannabis Social Clubs.
- Experts note uncertainties in the club-membership figure given the limited number of approved associations and point to ongoing monitoring through the EKOCAN project.
