The 2011 Medical Marijuana Survey (sponsored again by Legalize Utah) commenced last week and the responses are educational and interesting, much like the 2010 survey. To date 23 responses have been received, 14 from men and 9 from women. All of the results are available via live stream at this link.
The age of survey participants show a majority of age 30 and above and the ethnicity shows a majority of Caucasians, however Hispanic and Asian respondents are also represented.
When asked if they utilize cannabis for medicinal reasons, the survey demonstrates 16 participants admitted to using marijuana to treat physical and psychological issues, including: Asperger's Syndrome, Anxiety, Depression, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Dirsorder (ADHD), seizures, muscle spasms, chronic pain, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Glaucoma, Anorexia, Insomnia, Social Anxiety, stress and back pain.
When asked whether they chose to use cannabis rather than pharmaceuticals, 14 participants indicated they chose medical marijuana over man made, synthetic drugs.
The age at which survey participants began using cannabis medically varies from 13 through 30.
Utah specific questions were also included in the survey (as the survey is sponsored by Legalize Utah, Utah's first organization dedicated to the legalization of medicinal marijuana in Utah).
The first question was if the responder lives in Utah. Results show 87% of participants do live in Utah.
When asked if any of those living in Utah had ever purchased any "tobacco accessories" (pipes, hookas, bongs, etc.), the response was interesting.
Media influence was also addressed, showing only 21% stating media has any type of significant influence on their choice to utilize medical marijuana.
Level of education and neighborhood type were also obtained, showing only 7% did not graduate and 64% have at least 2 year degrees.
Neighborhoods also had unexpected results showing 36% live in suburbia, 29% live in urban areas and 21% reside in rural areas.
The 2011 Medical Marijuana Survey will continue for the next few weeks with updates being posted as much as possible.
