Millenials and Boomers seem to have the same cannabis preferences

Millennials and baby boomers love a good feud, but it looks like smoking a bowl together might just calm those fears a bit after all. According to a recent study by Verilife, a pharmacy operating under the PharmaCann umbrella, there are more similarities than differences when it comes to how cannabis users from both demographic groups participate in green foliage. The study found that inhaled cannabis was the preferred method of consumption for both groups, possibly due to familiarity. Of course, boomers are used to smoking joints and pipes rather than inhaling other ways, and even some millennials started using cannabis at a time when smoking was more common than consuming anything edible or using newer inventions like vape -Pens. Later studies could show that Generation Z consumers are no longer so used to inhaling products. Another reason inhalation might be the most common type of cannabis use in both groups is economic in nature. The flower is one of the cheapest ways to buy cannabis, which means that younger, lower-income users could opt for this type of consumption, even if other options are attractive and available. Accessibility also plays a role, as cannabis is sold in any pharmacy in legal states and is an easily understandable way of consuming it. However, there are some differences in the methods of consumption. A big one is the reason for consuming it. "One of the biggest differences between millennial and boomer marijuana use is in the reasons why each generation uses marijuana," the study continues. "Almost half of Millennials use marijuana for recreational reasons, in stark contrast to Boomers, who are twice as likely to use marijuana solely for medical reasons. For those who use marijuana for medical reasons, the most common health problems vary between generations. Name, for example the Millennials chronic pain (27 percent) and migraines (13 percent) as their main medical reasons compared to the Boomers who consume for arthritis (15 percent) and chronic pain (13 percent) ". However, as for those who use cannabis for relaxation, both Millennials and Boomers reported that they use cannabis for relaxation. Additionally, both groups reported that they spend about the same amount on cannabis every month and that use has increased since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the study, individuals' monthly spending has increased by about $ 27 per month on average, on top of the $ 76 that individuals spent on average prior to the COVID pandemic. The other big difference is who smokes more cannabis. According to the study, this is what millennials do. "According to respondents, millennials are more likely to consider themselves daily users. In fact, 1 in 5 millennials say they use marijuana every day, compared to just 12 percent of boomers." However, the boomers are still the ones more likely to wake up and bake. They reported much higher early morning cannabis use compared to millennials, which could be due to their lifestyle and higher likelihood of being retired. These results show that while there are definite differences in style of use, cannabis could be the one unifying factor that could end the dispute between baby boomers and millennials once and for all.
