Survey benchmarked workplace cannabis use prior to legalization
Survey results are available on cannabis use in the workplace prior to legalization of non-medical cannabis. About one in five cannabis users indicated they used cannabis in the two hours before work, during work, or during work breaks. The survey was conducted by the Institute for Work & Health (IWH).

From 2018 to 2021, the Institute for Work & Health is conducting a yearly survey of Canadian workers about cannabis. Its aim is to understand how the legalization of non-medical cannabis in October 2018 will affect workers’ cannabis use.

The first survey was conducted in June 2018, before the legalization of non-medical cannabis four months later. A total of 2,014 workers took part in this first survey, including 592 workers who used cannabis in the past year.
