There is no doubt that cannabis use has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and informal surveys conducted by local cannabis shops, mail order marijuana outlets and online dispensaries in Canada have more than confirmed this. Increases were expected by all those who monitor such things, however, it is interesting to note the various reasons behind this rise in use—anxiety and depression are common, as is boredom and an increase in the amount of spare time people now have working from home, however, what is interesting are the many users have consciously made the decision to switch from alcohol to cannabis during this period of time.
As expected, this global pandemic has caused a great deal of anxiety and distress throughout the world—in those who were unfortunate enough to suffer from such afflictions previously and among those who were not able to manage the increase in strain and stress this situation has imposed upon us all. It is fortunate that mail order marijuana outlets and online dispensaries in Canada have been able to continue operations and provide users with a consistent supply of cannabis, proving that the ability to buy weed online while from a social distance and in isolation, has never been more crucial than now.
As the majority of us are now working from home and going out less, we have all found that we now have more time on our hands. More people are now indulging in cannabis while isolating and more and more budtenders at local cannabis shops, mail order marijuana websites and online dispensaries in Canada are also reporting that users are also being more adventurous with cannabis as well—those who previously buy edibles online are now trying their hand at making their own goodies at home and there is also more of an interest in trying new and different strains.
What is interesting to note are those who are using cannabis in lieu of alcohol. Given that most of us are not nearly as physically active now as we were pre-pandemic, consuming cannabis in most cases does not involve calories and as added bonuses, hangovers are non-existent and marijuana is significantly less expensive when compared to alcohol. Cannabis can be bought throughout Canada at local brick and mortar shops, mail order marijuana depots and online dispensaries in Canada for about $10 per gram—that is approximately three joints.
Local cannabis shops, mail order marijuana outlets and online dispensaries in Canada noted that during the first wave, users of cannabis were more inclined to reach for goods higher in THC but during the second and subsequent waves, CBD has become more popular. As this pandemic marches on, people are no longer looking for an absolute distraction but are now more interested in using cannabis as a means of maintaining their health—escape from reality is out, enhancement of daily life as we know it, is in.
