Survey: who are the real CBD users?

The CBD market is a booming market and has been for a few years now. Since the European continent opened its doors to it, almost the entire population as well as the media and businesses have been interested in it. And for good reason, the many virtues of cannabidiol lead sellers and consumers to be more and more numerous! This is why, in order to better understand its followers, their habits and their motivations, so as to be able to better meet their needs, the CBD industry has conducted several studies aimed at describing the typical profile of the consumer. of cannabidiol. We'll take care of it for you!

Consumer surveys about cannabidiol

Although a lot of research has been undertaken in this direction very recently, to date there are still relatively few studies or surveys carried out among CBD consumers in France and elsewhere in the world. However, today we will rely on a study carried out in 2021 to draw the main conclusions.

As a reminder, the effectiveness of CBD is only judged through the feelings of consumers interviewed in the context of this study.

CBD: why and for whom?

Cannabidiol acts directly on the endocannabinoid system of the brain and can therefore be used to relieve many health problems in humans. The big advantage is that it is not addictive, unlike THC, and you can then consume it without any worries or harmful effects for the body. >

To relieve pain

Although cannabis has been used as an analgesic to reduce pain for millennia (since 2900 BC), it was not until the 20th century that cannabis scientists are actually looking into the plant.

Its discovery is often wrongly attributed to Raphael Mechoulam because it was actually Roger Adams who succeeded in isolating it in 1940, 23 years earlier. The latter was a brilliant biochemist from the University of Illinois.

As numerous studies have shown, CBD can reduce all types of pain such as those related to inflammation of the sciatic nerve or even multiple sclerosis.

Against anxiety and depression

Various studies suggest that CBD has incredible anxiolytic properties. Cannabidiol users found themselves more relaxed than non-users in a similar situation.

For sportsmen and great athletes

CBD helps to recover much faster after physical exertion, such as intense training or competition, thanks to its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties.
