Interest level in growing legal cannabis in the U.S. 2018, by gardener status

The cannabis industry in the United States is still relatively new. The uses of marijuana are varied, not only can it be used as a psychoactive substance but it can also produce byproducts such as hemp and CBD. There are more flexible regulations for the industrial production of hemp, particularly in terms of its cultivation and distribution as an agricultural product. CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is from the non-psychoactive portion of the plant and is used in a wide range of products from cosmetics to ingestible oils that are used to create a feeling of relaxation and calm. According to the source, in 2018, the majority of the respondents who were gardeners and non-gardeners stated that they have no interest in growing marijuana or hemp/CBD personally even if it was legal to do so. 65 percent of gardening respondents expressed no interest in cultivating cannabis products. Comparatively, 35 percent of respondents who were gardeners stated that that would definitely or probably grow cannabis if it was legal to do so.
