Smoking.
Which was far more prevalent (99.9%?) pre-legalization.
Vaping and ingesting cannabis are far more common now.
I haven't forgotten the time the UK gov ordered a cannabis study and then deleted the results and tried to suppress them because it didn't like the conclusion.
Good spotting. I read most of the article but missed this.
To be fair, it's an 'ok' article, as it brings the topic to light, however it appears the self-reported cannabis use would be dominated by smokers given the relative 'newness' of alternative consumption methods.
