According to Jaime Arteaga y Asociados, 63% of those surveyed believe that these measures in products would contribute to the country's economy.
The expectation of growth in the cannabis industry in Colombia has been taking shape in recent years, given the medicinal and cosmetic products that are being produced in the country.
Today the results of the first opinion poll on the cannabis industry were presented, where more than 2,000 Colombians from all over the country were consulted, and which was carried out by the Colombian Observatory of the Cannabis Industry, as an initiative of Jaime Arteaga y Asociados, in alliance with the Centro Nacional de Consultoría.
Faced with the results delivered by the firm, it was shown that 91% of the citizens surveyed who have used cannabis-based medicinal or cosmetic products would recommend other people to use the same.
Similarly, when asked if they have ever been to a store that sells these products, 63% of respondents answered no, while 37% said they had been in one of them.
The results by gender showed that 29% of women have been in one of these stores, like men, 44% also answered affirmatively.
The figure for the age group, presented 43% of the population between 18 and 34 years old, had entered these stores, unlike the group over 54 years old, where 28% answered having been in one of these .
The disaggregation by strata revealed that the high stratum is the one that has stayed the longest in this type of establishment, presenting a result of 47%.
In terms of knowledge about someone who uses cannabis-based medicinal or cosmetic products, 43% are aware of someone who uses them. Similarly, 57% of those surveyed answered no, unlike the 43% who answered yes knowing someone who makes use of these products. Likewise, this figure is higher among people from high strata, where 67% of them say they know someone who uses medicinal and cosmetic cannabis products. On the other hand, 1 out of every 4 Colombians has used medicinal or cosmetic products that contain cannabis, of which 76% of those surveyed answered that they have not, unlike those who answered yes, who represent 26%.
Likewise, the percentage of used products revealed that 46% are part of ointments or ointments; 38% are creams, 11% medicines, 10% oils and 9% cosmetics. Among other data presented, it was estimated that the consumption of these products is higher in the high stratum, where 40% of people have used these products. And although the use of cannabis can be considered as the door to explore with other types of drugs, according to the results of the survey it was estimated that 47% of those surveyed say they strongly agree that the use of this herb would that people use other types of more addictive drugs.
Contrary to the result of those who claim to be in strong disagreement, where the figure presented was 53%.
In another aspect, 63% of Colombians believe that sales taxes on cannabis products would improve social investment.
This figure is higher among people from high strata, where 72% assured that these taxes would improve investment, while 63% from the lower stratum also assured that they strongly agree.
For her part, Mónica Hoyos, deputy director of Ecosystems for Development at Jaime Arteaga y Asociados and leader of the Observatory of the Cannabis Industry in Colombia, assured that the results of the survey show that Colombians see value in the cannabis industry, especially in the high strata.
However, the leader assured that, “there is still a long way to go in terms of the reputation of the industry, and part of this will be to expand access to cannabis-based medicinal and cosmetic products for consumers with fewer economic resources. ”.
