A provincial survey shows a decrease in illegal cannabis use

PRINCE GEORGE – A recent report by the provincial government shows that more B.C. cannabis consumers are purchasing less from unlicensed sellers.

In a survey conducted with nearly 25 000 people living in BC, there is an increase in the number of consumers who buy from licensed stores.

Seventy-one percent reported purchasing from licensed retailers. Ingestible cannabis use and vaping methods have become more popular since legalization.

These findings suggest that most people in B.C. who choose cannabis are doing so responsibly.
