A recent Nielsen survey delved into why Americans are interested in trying legal cannabis.

One in three U.S. adults aged 21 and up is interested in using legalized cannabis, but most aren’t looking to just get high, a recent survey by market-research firm Nielsen suggests.

What’s more, around four in 10 people who have headache or migraine pain , people who have arthritic pain and people who have back and neck pain expressed an interest in cannabis consumption. As for why cannabis-curious adults who use other medications would weigh the psychoactive drug to treat their symptoms, seven in 10 perceived it to be more effective than over-the-counter or prescription options, and 67% thought it was healthier. Sixty-nine percent, meanwhile, said cannabis seemed “more natural.”
