There are some strange impacts observed when it comes to income levels. A total of 15% of people who said that honouring St. Valentine would also involve taking a bite (or toke) of the devil’s lettuce earn a salary of $50,000 or less — sort of sounds like a blog writer.

The numbers dipped down to 9% among those earning $50,000-$99,000 a year, proving you can afford a condo and still be kind of a wet noodle, and ramped back up to 12% for those earning $100,000 a year or more.

Of respondents in relationships, young Canadians were the most likely to have cannabis involved Valentine’s Day plans. According to Lift & Co. 22% respondents aged 18-34 said Mary Jane would be their third, compared to 12% of people age 35-54 and only 3% for those aged 55+.
