Cannabis users are more successful and satisfied, finds new study

A new study has shattered the myth that cannabis consumers are lazy and unmotivated.

The study conducted by BDS analytics suggest that pot users are infact the most satisfied and successful among us.

The data firm BDS surveyed 1,200 people who have used marijuana within the past six months. California and Colorado were the two states that were extensively surveyed.

“One theme that clearly emerges from the research is the overall healthy well-being of cannabis consumers… when compared to ‘acceptors’ (people who do not consume cannabis but might consider it) and ‘rejecters’ (people who do not consume cannabis and would not consider it),” the report reads.

The study found that the average annual household income among California cannabis consumers was $93,800, significantly higher than the $70,000 for people who didn't used pot.

20 percent of cannabis consumers hold master’s degrees, compared to 12 percent for those who abstained from trying cannabis.

 Cannabis consumers are far removed from the caricatures historically used to describe them,” said Linda Gilbert, head of the consumer research division at BDS Analytics. “In fact, positive lifestyle indicators like volunteering, socializing, satisfaction with life and enjoyment of exercise and the outdoors are highest among cannabis consumers, at least in Colorado and California.”
