Source: 15-year-olds only were asked how often they had used cannabis in their lifetimes. Findings presented here show the proportions who reported using cannabis on at least one day in their lives (lifetime use) and the proportions who reported using cannabis on at least one day in the last 30 days (recent use).
* The study protocol requires that each HBSC country or region should aim to survey around 1500 young people from the three age groups (approximately 4500 in total).
