Both the Cannabis Study and Vividata’s large Survey of the Canadian Consumer have been modelled and extrapolated to the 6-digit postal code level. Combining these two data sets you can explore a wide range of consumer and market insight on product and media usage, shopping behavior, lifestyle, and psychographics of Cannabis users, identify market potential, and select the best retail locations.

Health care providers can optimize resources to those who need cannabis products for medical uses and policy makers can develop education and communication programs targeted to the right audience.

CPG companies can identify the best markets to expand in or to do brand or informational marketing in.
