Major Takeaways:

  1. Even though it’s risky, 34.82% of the participants still have stoner friends who have continued sharing weed with them since the coronavirus outbreak.
  2. According to 65.18% of the 1,017 participants, since the outbreak, their weed buddies have stopped sharing weed with them to avoid spreading the virus.

Methodology

We launched the survey on MTurk. To make sure the participants are U.S weed smokers, we do two things:

  1. Set qualification for the participant location as U.S only.
  2. Set a qualifying question at the beginning of the survey. In this case, the qualifying question is “Do you smoke weed?”, those who answered “No” will be disqualified and can not complete the survey.
We also have an attention-check question in the middle of the survey to ensure participants do not randomly answer the survey.

Because the survey relies on self-reporting, issues such as telescoping and exaggeration can influence responses. Please also be advised that this survey’s results do not reflect our opinions.
