“There are many reasons people enjoy growing at home, from cost savings and knowing how their plants were grown, to just plain old having fun.”
According to a new “2024 survey of Americans 21 and older conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of Royal Queen Seeds (RQS), one of the world’s largest and most trusted cannabis seed banks,” “59% of Americans agree that all Americans should have the right to legally grow cannabis at home.”
The study also shows: “81% of cannabis consumers agree all Americans should have the right to grow at home”; “62% of cannabis consumers would rather grow their own cannabis than buy it”; and “34% of cannabis consumers who have grown at home do so because they feel safer consuming their own home-grown flower compared to store-bought cannabis.”
According to a media release, the “nationally representative study, conducted in February 2024, surveyed more than 2,000 adults ages 21 and older, among whom 713 are cannabis consumers. Survey participants shared their thoughts on cannabis home grow laws as well as habits and purchasing patterns tied to 4/20, the largest cannabis sales day of the year.”
Per the research, “findings suggest that home cultivation is as key to successful cannabis legalization legislation as regulated sales or record expungement,” while “the results indicate continued normalization of cannabis in the US.”
“All adults should be allowed to grow their own cannabis alongside their fruits and vegetables, if they so choose, without the fear of financial or criminal penalties,” Shai Ramsahai, president of Royal Queen Seeds, said in a statement. “There are many reasons people enjoy growing at home, from cost savings and knowing how their plants were grown, to just plain old having fun. Royal Queen Seeds is here to champion them through their journey, whatever their reason, with more than 100 seed strains, including F1 hybrids, and one of the largest catalogs of best practices for home cultivation.”
