All discussions for this article are based on nation--wide surveys conducted by the Angus Reid Group in 1984, 1987, and 1997. The sample size and margin of error for each survey was as follows: 1984 (2,036; +/-- 2.2), 1987 (1,523; +/-- 2.5), 1997 (1,515; +2.5). The same questions were asked in each of the three surveys except for the follow--up question on decriminalization of marijuana use for health purposes, which was asked only in 1997.
