From 2018 to 2021, the Institute for Work & Health is conducting a yearly survey of Canadian workers about cannabis. The aim is to understand how the legalization of non-medical cannabis is affecting workers’ cannabis use and beliefs about use.

Following our baseline survey, conducted four months before cannabis was legalized for recreational use in October 2018, we surveyed more than 4,100 workers in the summer of 2019. This infographic summarizes highlights from the first comparison between pre- and post-legalization findings, based on the two surveys.
