With California allowing for the sale of recreational cannabis, it’s not really a shock that residents are picking up packs at record rates.
Delivery company EAZE reports that Californians are ordering bud every ten seconds.
Per Ganjaprenuer
“This year’s State of Cannabis report reveals a turning point in the industry toward mainstream acceptance. After Californians voted for adult use in November 2016, many consumers shifted their mindset and became more open to using cannabis to improve their everyday lives. Americans are becoming better educated about the wellness benefits offered by cannabis.” – Jim Patterson, Eaze CEO, in a press release”
The report also notes why people are ordering up so much. Sleep being the number 1 reason.
The analytics also purport that consumers are increasingly using cannabis to stop using sleeping pills, tobacco, and anxiety medications; 95 percent of respondents who used sleeping pills indicated that using cannabis has helped reduce their pill consumption, with 45 percent saying they stopped using their sleeping pills entirely. Of the 38 percent of Eaze customers who used tobacco, 73 percent indicated cannabis has helped them reduce their tobacco consumption and 13 percent said they were able to replace tobacco entirely with cannabis. And of the 48 percent who use or have used anxiety medication, 95 percent said cannabis has helped them reduce their reliance on those meds, with 40 percent saying they replaced their medication entirely with cannabis.
