Statistics Canada says Canadian men are almost twice as likely to use pot as women.
New data from the National Cannabis Survey on Thursday shows 16 per cent of Canadians over 15 years old report using pot in April, May or June.
That’s down slightly from 17.5 per cent in the first three months of the year.
The survey suggests men are more likely to use pot daily or weekly than women, and are also more likely to use it for non-medicinal purposes.
About four in 10 marijuana users say they bought pot illegally.
