In 2002, an estimated 3.1 million people, 13% of the Canadian population reported that they had used illicit drugs in the past year. Cannabis alone was most commonly reported (10%); drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy and hallucinogens were used by slightly over 2% of the population, an estimated 590,000 individuals. Almost half of those who used drugs (49%) had done so at least monthly, and 9% acknowledged daily use.
