The research shows that those most likely to grow their own cannabis at home remained relatively unchanged since legalization, with some demographics showing a slight increase or decrease.

Those most likely to do so are male, 35-55 years of age, and living in Atlantic Canada, followed by British Columbia and Ontario. Reported home cultivation was the least common in the Prairies. Home cultivation is not allowed in Manitoba and Quebec. Both provinces are facing court challenges to this prohibition.

Although men were more likely to cultivate cannabis at home, the number of women who reported doing so increased since legalization. The number of Canadian men over the age of 55 who reported growing their own cannabis at home actually declined since legalization.

And there you have it.

It's very similar to alcohol. Just because it's legal doesn't mean everybody is going to become an alcoholic. Some people drink, some don't.

I'm sure the increase is down to simply that: curiosity. "Let's give it a go and see what it's like".

Then, of course, you'll have a mix of some people that say, "well, that was interesting, but not for me" and those that go the "that's nice to have around" route.

This "huge epidemic" of drug addicts that the naysayers have always predicted simply never happened.
