A Consumer Reports survey showed that 22% of people who took CBD for health problems said it has helped them replace prescription or OTC drugs, and more than a third of those said they used it to replace opioids.
Survey findings support CBD’s research-backed health benefits
In January, Consumer Reports surveyed more than 4,000 people from across the United States to find out about CBD: who is using it, why, and in what form, and whether it’s effective. The results show that CBD products are rapidly gaining in popularity and reaching the mainstream.
Who Is Using CBD?
The survey showed that Americans of all ages are using CBD:
- More than a quarter of people in the U.S. say they’ve tried CBD
- One of 7 said they use it every day
- It’s most popular among the millennials (40%) but 15% of people 60 and older have also said they’ve tried it
Edibles were the most popular way to get CBD, followed by CBD tinctures and sprays, then by topicals, smokables, and pills being the least common.
Why Users Take CBD
