If it seems like your pets get extra snuggly with you after you’ve consumed cannabis, it may not just be in your head.
Premium Cultivars marijuana seeds, a cannabis seed bank, shared the results of its latest consumer survey on the connections between pet ownership and cannabis consumption and the findings suggested a link between cuddles and cannabis use.
The survey, completed in July of 2024, explored how cannabis consumption and pet ownership interact. Premium Cultivars asked nearly 1,000 customers several related questions in an attempt to understand how cannabis affected their relationship with their pets and vice versa.
Key findings from the survey include:
- Respondents found cannabis consumption or time with their pets nearly equally relaxing, with cannabis consumption coming in just four percentage points ahead.
- 81% of participants surveyed reported that their pets have never interfered with their cannabis plants.
- 59% of respondents reported that their pets seemed to enjoy cuddling more while their owners were high, and 82% reported that their pets joined them for naps after consuming cannabis.
- Survey participants were evenly split when asked if they believed their pets could tell when they were high.
“Furthering the cannabis industry through excellent service and essential research is at the forefront of Premium Cultivars’ mission,” said Brand Strategist Clint Thompson. “As dedicated animal owners and cannabis professionals, we’re excited to uncover these fascinating findings and provide more avenues for further research.”
