4 of every 10 Canadians will decide their purchase point according to price

By: Laura Rueda Culture

The legalization of recreational cannabis is already a reality in Canada. Until normalization in society begins to speak for itself, the global market research and consulting firm based in Paris, Ipsos, has conducted a survey on the consumer habits of Canadian citizens.

Four out of ten Canadians confess that it will be the price of cannabis that will determine whether they continue to buy on the black market or, alternatively, begin to buy on the legal market. This is the data revealed by an exclusive Ipsos survey for the Canadian television network Global News. This survey shows research on the use of marijuana in Canada.

Ipsos Public Affairs Vice President Jennifer McLeod Macey has stated that it is likely that if the governmentā€™s marijuana prices are too high, Canadians will maintain the status quo and continue to use the black market to obtain cannabis.

One third of the people surveyed, 36%, confessed that they will continue going to the same point of sale they acquired their cannabis before it was legalized. 14% declared that they will change their place after the regulation of the plant in Canada.

ā€œWe must remember that some users are already receiving it legally, medically. Many recreational users of cannabis are also medical usersā€, said Macey.

There will be no major changes after October 17th

Only 5% of the people surveyed admitted that they would base their cannabis purchase decision on the location of the stores. Ipsosā€™ Vice President of Public Affairs also added that 54% of Canadians (more than half) are not cannabis users and that ā€œthey really do not expect any change after October 17th.ā€

ā€œMany people are currently obtaining it illegally and do not expect it to change much,ā€ added Jennifer McLeod Macey.

Las personas encuestadas no lo dudan, si el precio del cannabis legal es demasiado alto, seguirƔn comprando su marihuana en una fuente de confianza a un importe mƔs asequible, dijeron los expertos a Global News.

ā€œEl precio del cannabis legal tiene que estar equilibrado con el precio del mercado negro, o incluso un poco mĆ”s alto, como lo sugieren nuestros datos, es un factor importante para minimizar las compras en el mercado negroā€, declaro Michael Amlung, profesor asistente de neurociencia del comportamiento y afiliado de la facultad del Centro Michael G. DeGroote para Medicinal Cannabis Research en McMaster University.

AƱadiĆ³ tambĆ©n que sus datos muestran que entre 10 y 14 dĆ³lares por gramo es el precio Ć³ptimo para que los ciudadanos de Ontario y que cualquier cantidad mĆ”s alta llevarĆ­a a los usuarios a comprar en el mercado negro.

Parece que el precio puede variar de una provincia a otra, aunque ya lo dijo en junio la ministra de Salud, Ginette Petitpas Taylor, serĆ” competitivo con el mercado negro. SegĆŗn Jennifer McLeod Macey los resultados muestran que el mercado negro continuarĆ” en activo durante al menos un tiempo despuĆ©s de la legalizaciĆ³n de la planta.

ā€œNo creo que vaya a cambiar de la noche a la maƱanaā€, explicĆ³. ā€œNo creo que haya un cambio masivo al final de esta semanaā€.

La encuesta tambiĆ©n revelĆ³ que uno de cada 10 canadienses que no consumen cannabis confesaron que comenzarĆ”n a consumirlo tras la legalizaciĆ³n, asĆ­ que seguro que estas personas comprarĆ”n marihuana en el circuito legal. El 84% de los canadienses cree que la legalizaciĆ³n no cambiarĆ” la cantidad de marihuana que consumen. El 13% restante dice que consumirĆ” mĆ”s tras su legalizaciĆ³n. Las personas mĆ”s jĆ³venes (de 18 a 34 aƱos) dijeron que consumirĆ­an mĆ”s que las personas con un rango de edad mayor.

Los funcionarios de Statistics Canada piensan sacar informaciĆ³n del punto de venta de las compras legales de cannabis para saber cuĆ”nto gasta la ciudadanĆ­a, el impacto que tendrĆ” en la economĆ­a del paĆ­s y con estos datos averiguar lo que queda del mercado negro.
