Who consumes CBD in Switzerland? – Insights from a national survey <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In recent years, interest in CBD has grown enormously in Switzerland <\/a>and Europe. Many consumers are discovering the positive effects of the natural active ingredient extracted from the cannabis sativa plant. Awareness of the potential benefits of cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is growing steadily, particularly with regard to relaxation, pain relief and stress reduction. To find out more about CBD consumers in Switzerland, IG Hemp<\/a> conducted a survey in collaboration with the online CBD store uWeed. The results offer fascinating insights into the profiles and preferences of Swiss CBD users.<\/p>\n\n

Who are the Swiss CBD consumers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The study included 1170 participants, representing a cross-section of CBD consumers in Switzerland. One of the most important results: A majority of respondents use CBD primarily to relieve stress and relax. More than 50% of survey participants say they use CBD for relaxation, while 46% use it to help them sleep better. Others use CBD for pain relief (26%) or to alleviate psychological stress such as anxiety or depression (14%). A smaller proportion of participants use CBD specifically to relieve symptoms of chronic conditions. <\/p>\n\n

<\/em>High level of education, but not high earnings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It is interesting to note that many Swiss CBD users are better educated than average. Almost 41% of participants have a university or college degree – significantly more than the national average of around 31%. <\/p>\n\n

However, this does not mean that this group is particularly high-income. Around 40% of respondents earn less than CHF 50,000 per year, and only 16% have an income of over CHF 100,000. These figures also reflect the young average age of consumers: over half of the participants are between 18 and 40 years old, and only 22% are over 50. <\/p>\n\n

This illustration underlines that a high level of education does not necessarily correlate with a high income, especially among CBD consumers in Switzerland. <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n
