Back in 1968 they had an "anonymous" poll in my school asking about cannabis and alcohol use... The results of the poll in my class showed that about 14% had tried cannabis... This was a shock to me as I had personally used cannabis with every person in that room including the teacher... Canada still claims that about 14% of the country use cannabis.. I am fairly certain that the true figure would be at least 50% since the 60s and probably a bit higher after legalization.. I do know a few people my age who have taken it up since it became legal...

Alcohol is the deadly one, but we don't debate it like we do cannabis.

Absolutely nowhere near this. 15% is pretty standard across most countries.
You're using an anecdotal experience in high school which is not reflective of the broader population.
