DSECT/DSEN Monthly Seminar Series - Feb 25 2021 - Cannabis Policy: How do we better reflect consumer needs? - Dr. Jennifer Donnan

“Cannabis Policy: How do we better reflect consumer needs?”

 

Presented by

Dr. Jennifer Donnan, 

Assistant Professor, Memorial University of Newfoundland

Thursday, February 25, 2021 3- 4pm EST

 

Abstract: 

This presentation will describe ongoing research to explore consumer preferences for cannabis products. Non-medical use of cannabis was legalized in Canada in October 2018, and since that time a growing proportion of cannabis purchases have shifted to the licensed market. However, there is still a vibrant legacy market. This study looks to explore consumer preferences to identify ways in which cannabis regulations may be adapted to better meet consumer needs. I will first discuss results of a systematic review and qualitative data collection, then I will discuss plans to measure preferences using a discrete choice experiment

Learning Objectives: 

  1. To explore some of the challenges faced when trying to capture factors that influence cannabis purchase decisions
  2. To explore the complexities of consumer purchasing behavior for cannabis products
