The remaining 31% showed a moderate to higher frequency of 1-6 uses per week.
Product-based distribution in the less than one day per month group showed that dried leaves and flowers were the most common application employed by 65% of the users. Oral administration in the form of edibles or beverages was observed in 72% of instances. Only 22% of the sample mentioned the use of oils or extracts.

With the recent 7 June 2023 Senate bill permitting the distribution of products containing cannabinoids or related compounds by registered vendors in Colorado, the US is seriously considering reviving its non-medical cannabinoids industry.

Two cannabinoids, Delta-8 and THC, isolated from the cannabis species, have properties proven to aid several neurodegenerative conditions. FDA-approved Epidiolex containing purified cannabidiol is actively prescribed for seizures associated with several genetic disorders. In the case of cancer, cannabinoids are used to aid symptoms rising from therapies rather than the disease itself. Synthetic THC-based Nabilone and Dronabinol are prescribed for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. As the requirement for such products increases, the demand for cannabis extract is observed to grow. Thus, the increasing prevalence of cancer and other chronic conditions is observed to act as a driver for the market.
The rapid development of the cannabis industry in the healthcare sector inspired a massive movement legalizing or decriminalizing activities related to the CBD industry. As a byproduct of the huge policy changes in accordance with the legalization, the cannabis industry is expected to witness exponential growth. For instance, following the Michigan Cannabis Amendment, California has planned to make similar amendments for cannabis use from January 2024.
The addictive nature of cannabis was responsible for its initial illegalization in multiple areas. Despite federal regulation and a controlled production framework in place, a massive social stigma essentially restricts the industry's growth. Retailers selling cannabis-based goods are frowned upon and often victims of several protests and criticism. Thus, the element associated with social stigma of cannabis-based products create a major restraint for the market.
Along with multiple health benefits, cannabis can cause side effects if used for long term. This element is observed to cause a major obstacle to the market’s expansion. Several studies demonstrated side effects associated with the long-term use of medication using Cannabis based compounds as active ingredients. These include dependence on drugs, addiction, and psychological symptoms like schizophrenia, hallucinations, paranoia, etc.
Besides the medical and recreational functions, cannabis is observed to be utilized significantly in cosmetics, paper, and textile industries. Primarily, cold-pressed oils and aqueous extracts of the seeds of cannabis Sativa are known for their moisturizing properties. Phyto cannabinoids and lab-created synthetic cannabinoids have been proven therapeutic for several chronic dermatological conditions. Isolates of these compounds were often prescribed as topical formulations for skin inflammatory diseases. Thus, the integration of cannabis products in the cosmetic industry is anticipated to offer multiple opportunities for the market.
Retail channels provide opportunities for cannabis extract companies to build and promote their brands. This includes packaging, labeling, and in-store promotions that can help create brand recognition and loyalty.

This information can inform marketing strategies and product development. In response to the demands of various retail channels and consumer preferences, companies may invest more in research and development. This can lead to the creation of new and innovative cannabis extract products.
