A recent poll conducted by NuggMD sheds light on the purchasing habits of cannabis consumers in U.S. states where the substance is legal. The results reveal a strong preference for regulated markets, with 65% of respondents reporting that they buy all of their cannabis from licensed dispensaries, and an additional 12% indicating that most of their purchases are made through these legal channels. This suggests that consumers value the safety, quality, and legal compliance offered by licensed sellers, contributing to the growing dominance of regulated markets.
The poll also highlights that only a small percentage of respondents continue to rely on unregulated sources for their cannabis needs. This shift towards licensed sellers is a positive development for the legal cannabis industry, indicating that efforts to create safe and reliable marketplaces are resonating with consumers. The poll’s findings underscore the importance of maintaining stringent regulations and quality standards to further encourage this trend and support the continued growth of the legal cannabis market.
In summary, as cannabis legalization continues to expand across the United States, the majority of consumers are choosing to purchase from licensed dispensaries, valuing the benefits that come with regulated products. This trend is likely to strengthen as the industry evolves, solidifying the role of licensed sellers in the cannabis market.
