Nearly half the ML population (46.0%) reported that they had used cannabis in their lifetime (including one time use) and 14% reported use in the previous 12 months in 2015/16. These rates are not statistically different from the province or the peer group.

Frequency of use indicates that about 6% of the ML adult population used daily or a few times a week in 2015/16.  About 4% of adults reported using weekly or a few times a month and 4% used once a month or less (not shown).
