Poll Also Uncovers Latest Consumer Behavior, Shopping, Spending and Product Shifts Year-Over-YearBOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jushi Holdings Inc. (“Jushi” or the “Company”) (CSE: JUSH) (OTCQX: JUSHF), a vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator, released the results of its second annual “Cannabis Consumer Insights Holiday Poll,” which surveyed 1,000 cannabis consumers from U.S. states with state-legalized cannabis sales for adults 21 years and older. The national survey, which was independently conducted by Pollfish and commissioned and overseen by Jushi Experience Director, Interaction Designer, Futurist and Associate Professor at ArtCenter College of Design, Julian Scaff, reveals how cannabis consumers are adapting under inflationary pressures. “Our independently conducted poll shows that even with mounting inflationary pressures and cost-saving behaviors on the rise, demand for cannabis remains very resilient,” said Jim Cacioppo, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Founder of Jushi. “In fact, we found customers are actually consuming the same or more than they were a year ago – they’re just purchasing less expensive alternatives to compensate for the rising cost of living. We believe staying on top of the latest consumer behavior trends will make our brands, products and digital and physical retail experiences more relevant as we continue to focus on our profitability and performance.”Cannabis Consumers Adapt under Inflationary Pressures: With 63% of respondents finding inflation painful or very painful, Jushi Cannabis Consumer Insights Holiday Poll showed the vast majority of cannabis consumers are consuming more or about the same amount of cannabis as they were a year ago. When asked “how much cannabis are you consuming compared to a year ago,” about a quarter of respondents (24%) stated they are consuming more than last year, while the majority (52%) are consuming about the same.
