Survey Reveals Cannabis Users are Opting for Healthier Snacks During Munchies Cravings

Exploring Healthier Snack Choices Among Cannabis Users

A recent survey conducted by CBD Oracle reveals a significant transformation in the snacking habits of cannabis enthusiasts. The stereotype of the lazy stoner who only craves junk food seems to be fading, with nearly two-thirds of respondents indicating they actively seek out healthier options when the munchies hit.

Survey Insights

The survey, which included a nationally representative sample of 1,000 adult cannabis consumers, found that 63% reported making healthier food choices while snacking. This percentage increased dramatically among daily users, where 71% indicated the same. Foods like fruits, salads, and smoothies have emerged as popular options, demonstrating a more health-conscious attitude among consumers.

According to Houman Shahi, the Editorial Director at CBD Oracle, users who frequently consume cannabis are striving to break away from the stereotype that associates cannabis use with unhealthy eating. Shahi emphasizes that this new data reflects a real trend in the industry, as individuals are increasingly concerned with their dietary choices, especially when influenced by cannabis consumption.

The Impact of the Munchies

Although many cannabis consumers are attempting to snack smarter, the reality remains that the munchies often lead to unhealthy habits. Over half of the participants reported that getting the munchies complicates their weight management and nutritional goals. In fact, 53% expressed difficulties in aligning their snacking with their overall health initiatives, while 43% admitted to experiencing guilt following a cannabis-induced snack binge.

Interestingly, the survey revealed that regular cannabis users are hit hardest by the munchies effects, with approximately 75% of them indicating they often or always experience cravings. In contrast, those who consume cannabis less frequently—specifically those who partake less than once a month—report this experience at a significantly lower rate, sitting below 30%. The financial impact of these snacking habits was also noted, with regular users spending an average of about $70 weekly on munchies.

Unexpected Snack Combinations

This survey also provided insights into the unconventional snacks that some users enjoy. While traditional snacks like pizza, chips, and ice cream continue to reign supreme, participants shared odd combinations that they have indulged in while high. Some users recounted experiences that included bizarre pairings, such as pickles paired with chocolate syrup, peanut butter, and frosting. One particularly adventurous individual confessed to consuming a 30-year-old collectible candy bar while under the influence of cannabis.

Conclusion

As the cannabis industry and culture continue to evolve, there is a notable shift happening within the consumer base. The results of the CBD Oracle survey highlight a growing desire among cannabis users to prioritize healthier snacking options. This trend reflects wider societal changes as individuals become more health-conscious, influencing the types of products and snacks available in the market.
