Have Canadian cannabis users increased their usage during the pandemic?
It’s no secret many Canadians increased their alcohol consumption during the lockdowns brought about by COVID-19…but what about cannabis?
More than half of cannabis users in Canada say they increased the amount they consumed during the first wave of COVID-19, according to a new study.
In findings released by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), 52 per cent of existing cannabis users reported an increase in their consumption during the first wave of the pandemic.
Alexia Kapralos looks at why users are consuming more, and why the latest cannabis trends are concerning for some health professionals.

Suicide rates have sky rocketed- should be the main thing we’re focusing on here
Risking lives to save lives… 😵
During the pandemic and even before, people are spending hard-earned wages (and lack thereof) on cannibas when they should be paying bills, putting food on the table for their families, heating their home and paying off debt!!!!! That ev*l snake in Ottawa (justin) is laughing all the way to the bank for his evil plan to legalize marijuana just so he can scam people for their money!! Instead of making the lives of Canadians better (as a REAL PM should), he is determined to make every one destitute!! This ev*l snake has no business being in the Prime Minister’s Office!! (BTW….i don’t smoke-its a 100% waste of money)
It’s better than a chill pill🤩🤩🤩
cannabis and the cannabis plant family are, have been and will be with mankind always.
praise THE LORD.
The medical community rallied for legalization, yet remain expected to have a lot of money for that that they never had. Interesting.
No kidding! What was your first clue??? When will you start employing people with brains!
Haha are people eating more food and home delivery during the pandemic?…are they watching their food consumption, causing major organ issues and their finances…Haha
weed for the mainstream masses to keep you nice and controlled 😉 exactly what they want, you won’t have any brain cells left.
Only because the quality has gone down.
Of course.
Because big pharma kills. Marijuana heals
If your paying $40 to the government for 3 grams, your not being taxed enough.
Keep taking your regular medications and then start reading the side effects haha hypocrisy
gateway drug =future crack heads of america
Cannabis got me through the pandemic
well..every car that drives by stinks like weed.. wha do you think!
Don’t smoke weed.
Vaping weed is better, much better.
Canada is the local pot dealer now so they should know.
Im not any smoke than i stoned before
They already increased usage as much as possible since 2018 when it became legal; there wasn’t much higher usage could go from there, even with the pandemic. ¬_¬ Every square-inch of the country smells like pot now. 😒
Rather have a bottle in front of me then a frontal lobotomy. And getting stoned is a lot more fun and far more heathy then getting drunk.
Do a story on real threats like the mental state of people and hard drug use for F sakes, even overdose! This is like reporting on water accumulating in the street from melting snow!
"Do people who smoke weed, smoke even more weed now that everything is closed and they cant go anywhere?"
CAN YOU IMAGINE?????
Who else high asf rn
I lost my job during the pandemic.
I created my channel believing for myself, you and the rest of the world🌍🌎
Yes
Global news is utter garbage
Interlock down stuck in your house with nothing to do
what do you think??
I know I do and it’s not just because of the pandemic.
The number of crises that have been happening around the world have resulted in perpetual triggering – The People of Colour who’ve been killed by cops, electoral fraud in Eastern Europe, "sexual misconduct" EVERYWHERE, millions of minks being gassed to death painfully, Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, a young woman killed by a cop in England and the misogyny on the youtube comments about the protests…I’m vaping right now
Why india is great 😎😎😎
Alcohol sales are up also – which just means the government get even more taxes…… a bit of weed is probably better for you – help you sleep – stay calm etc…
Did Rose Kennedy have a black dress?? Duhhhuhh
Bro you have brain fog because you eat the government food. Wake up
Weed doesn’t hit anymore man i need my backpage wh*res again
The only positive Trudeau made was legalize weed. Im stoned 24/7.
Who did the indepth investigation on this? I bet he was high AF
Cocaine’s a helluva drug.
Exactly
People coping during a pandemic with a harmless substance with benefits well suited to our current situation is great news. Certainly better than an increase in alcohol
So?
Grow your own stone.
Ive smoked 0.8% as much as I did the year before lockdown.
Trudeau was counting on that
Thanks tips. Stress & terrify everyone, make them lose jobs & businesses, make some lose hope & leave all the booze & weed stores open…
Guess what happens….
Im 48 years old and. I didn’t go crazy whit weed. I smoke once or twice a week
Considering how many Canadians died in 2020 of suicide desperately trying to access mental health services and proper medications…
