🔥 What Are People Consuming?
According to Statista, 21% of American cannabis consumers between the ages of 18–64 prefer flower when they consume. While new product formats continue to emerge (like drinks, topicals, or capsules), flower remains the go-to for many, particularly those who value familiarity, ritual, and control over dosage.
🗣 What These Cannabis Statistics Mean for You
Behind every percentage and data point is a real person, someone navigating stress, sleep issues, anxiety, pain, or simply trying to feel more like themselves. The numbers reflect what many of us already know but rarely say out loud: people are turning to cannabis not for escape, but for support.
In 2025, cannabis is no longer a fringe topic. It’s a tool used by millions of adults to relax more deeply, sleep more soundly, think more clearly, and recover more fully. It’s woven into wellness routines, not because it’s trendy, but because it’s helping people feel better in a world that can often feel overwhelming.
Maybe you’ve been curious about exploring it, but aren’t sure where to start. Maybe you’ve visited a dispensary before and felt rushed, judged, or confused by the process. Or maybe you’re just starting to ask, “Could this be part of my routine?”
