List of countries by annual cannabis use

This is a list of the annual prevalence of cannabis use by country, including some territories, as a percentage of the population.

Methodology

The indicator is an "annual prevalence" rate which is the percentage of the youth and adult population who have consumed cannabis at least once in the past survey year. As with all surveys of behavior, the legal and social status of the behavior in question may bias individuals' responses to varying extents, making results comparatively more reliable in jurisdictions with lower legal and social risks surrounding the use of cannabis.
