Most People Who Use Marijuana Obtain It From Licensed Retailers, New Survey Finds

Nearly 8 in 10 cannabis consumers in legalized states buy their marijuana from licensed retailers, supporting regulated markets. A poll by NuggMD shows 77% purchase from legal stores, with 65% buying exclusively there. In California and New York, consumers also favor legal outlets, but some uncertainty exists over store licenses. Daily cannabis use surpasses alcohol, with fewer reported secondhand harms. Teen marijuana use has decreased post-legalization. Some consumers would return to the illicit market if cannabis became a prescription drug. Pain management is a common reason for marijuana use, with fruity strains being popular.
