Experimental estimates of cannabis consumption in Canada, 1960 to 2015 / by Ryan Macdonald and Michelle Rotermann.: CS11-626/2017-77E-PDF

"This Economic Insights article presents experimental estimates of the number of tonnes of cannabis consumed by age group for the period from 1960 to 2015. The experimental estimates rely on survey data from multiple sources, statistical techniques to link the sources over time, and assumptions about consumption behaviour. They are subject to revision as improved or additional data sources become available"--p. 1
