Exploring cannabis consumption stigma in Canada with consideration of age and gender differences

Abstract Despite legalization in Canada, stigma towards cannabis use remains evident. Stigma toward cannabis use was greatest for younger consumers (14-years-olds). Older generations (70 + year old’s) endorsed more stigma than younger generations. There were no main effects on stigma toward cannabis use based on gender.
