Description:
Marijuana (a.k.a. cannabis) remains the most popular illicit recreational drug among Toronto students.
Approximately 23% of respondents to the most recent Toronto student survey indicated recent (past year) cannabis use. The high-risk practice of binge drinking, that is consuming more than five alcoholic drinks on one occasion, was reported by 18% of Toronto students. Inhalant use among Toronto students was reported by nearly 8% . This potentially fatal practice is most popular among the youngest students surveyed. Cocaine powder use among Toronto students has increased over the last decade, from 1.1% in 1993 to 4.0% in 2003. With respect to designer drugs, less than 4% of students indicated past year use of ecstasy, while only 1% reported use of GHB. (excerpt from the source)
