The cannabis industry is trying hard to find out who you really are. Companies that are part of this billion-dollar industry want to understand the minds of consumers so they can get as much cash from them as possible over the next few years.
But there’s no need to get all paranoid over this — certainly no reason to start crafting tin foil hats and using a burner phone. There’s no evidence that the cannabis industry is working with any super-secret government agencies to monitor your consumption of marijuana.
We don’t believe it.
Despite the jokes, marijuana companies are now eager to gather any information they can about their clients. Companies that sell marijuana want to find out how much we make every year. They also ask about the cars we drive and whether or not we own a house, have 2.5 children, or live in gutters. The pot dealers are interested in all of this information.
According to a report released last year by New Frontier Data & MJ Freeway, there are currently nine types of cannabis consumers. Each of these cannabis users has different preferences for products, peculiarities, income levels, and buying habits.
Find out exactly where you fit in on the list.
1. Toy Tokers
The occasional smokers are those who purchase marijuana a couple times a year, with friends, and engage in open discussion on topics as amusing as, “What would we do if the orgy was legalized?” They aren’t the ravingly insane, die-hard cannabis supporters who have fought to legalize weed for decades. These people likely have no idea how grass even became legal in their neck of the woods — and they don’t care, either! They enjoy getting high and having a good time with friends. Interestingly, this group makes up the most significant chunk (17 percent) of cannabis consumers. You might see a bunch of these folks later this year when the Weedmaps Museum opens up!
2. Grey and Trying to Forget
This is a classification for “occasional users,” who purchase marijuana “a few time a month, or less” to unwind. The majority of these men are older, divorced and single. The group that ranks second in the top spending category (14%) is still hesitant to buy pot at their local dispensary. Still, many of them rely heavily on friends or weed sellers to make their purchases. Toy trains are another option.
3. The Weed is Everything
The members of this group tend to be cannabis enthusiasts who are fervent. The slightly younger group tends to smoke marijuana every day, even if they are broke. These people are relatively poor, but still spend a lot of money on weed. These people make up about 14 percent the total weed users in America, but they prefer to buy weed on the black market. This group may be found playing video games on their parent’s basement.
4. Medical Marijuana only
They believe that something must be wrong in them for using marijuana. Don’t worry. They always have a good reason for consuming. Why else do you think chronic pain became the leading health condition for patients participating in statewide medical marijuana programs? These people do not use marijuana regularly, and they don’t rely on the traditional methods of consumption. The report found that they make up about 12 percent of cannabis consumers and tend to prefer pills, oil and topicals. The report also found that they were the first people to call cannabis by this name. cannabis As opposed to marijuana, weed or pot.
5. Weekend Warriors
The group that makes up 11% of users can be best described as socially snobbish. These people are well-off and live in places where marijuana use is allowed for recreational purposes. It is no surprise that they pay attention to the quality of weed and have even developed their own favorite strains. This group of mostly parents in early 40s still buys their weed on the black market. They are those who call their children and, despite the fact that there’s a nearby dispensary, ask if the kids have any joints they could “borrow”.
6. You’re cool and will try anything once
This group consumes large amounts of cannabis in all forms — they’ll smoke it, eat, drink it, it doesn’t matter. The report calls these people “cannabis consumers 2.0” and they are wealthy. They are the ideal target market for cannabis. These folks are eager to hit the dispensary every chance they get and will surely drive the budtenders crazy with all of their questions — but unfortunately for legal pot bigwigs, they only comprise 10 percent of the pot-consuming populace.
7. Although we like marijuana, we don’t really know whether it is legal.
The group does not consume as much cannabis, and when it happens, they get it from a friend of a friend who is referred to them by another man. This group is older and conservative. They use marijuana only a few times a year, with their friends. But they’re not going to support legalization. They might. What Fox News says at any given time is all that matters.
8. Closet Potheads
It’s the group of people who don’t mind if they aren’t publicized as marijuana users, or even if it is a secret. The only thing that helps my back is this product.It is likely that they are mothers or fathers who smoke pot and have done so since Nixon’s administration. However, they never feel comfortable talking about it publicly. The dry ass marijuana they store in their sandwich bags from 1982 is a good way to identify this 8 percent piece of the pie.
9. You’re not kidding, let’s party!
This group, despite being the smallest (5%) spends the most money on cannabis. The group is also known for drinking excessively and raising hell everywhere. They are the kind of people I like. The do It is not clear how to get there. It’s not important to them if marijuana cures cancer or prevents seizures in children. Instead they’re out and about, dancing to the beat, living life to its fullest. Look for these people hanging out at dispensaries late at night… and also in the country drunk tank.
