"A Harris Poll found that one-third of those who use cannabis recreationally prefer cannabis to drinking alcohol. Parents are turning to cannabis at higher rates than those without children, according to the results of the survey.
More than half of the respondents (52%) who have ever used cannabis and have kids under the age of 18 said that they had started or increased their consumption of ma*****na since the pandemic, while 33% of those without children under 18 said the same.
More than half of parents who have ever consumed cannabis (57%) reported that their use of ma*****na replaced or reduced alcohol consumption. Stacia Woodcock, who has a doctorate in pharmacy and is a dispensary manager for Curaleaf in New York, noted that the company’s staff is ready to help consumers find the cannabis formulations that fit their needs.
“Educating consumers around cannabis consumption is so important,” said Woodcock. “Curaleaf’s pharmacists and committed dispensary associates make it a priority to educate our patients and consumers and help them find the right products to make cannabis a part of their lives.”
The survey illustrates that attitudes about cannabis are evolving as the green wave of ma*****na legalization continues to sweep across the United States. Another recent poll commissioned by California cannabis and h**p company, the Glass House Group, found that nearly two-thirds of respondents planned to replace alcohol use with cannabis during the holiday season, while 67% said their replacement of alcohol with cannabis would increase in 2020 even more."
