Lava Cake Emerges as Top Cannabis Strain in Consumer Preferences, NuggMD Poll Reveals

A comprehensive poll conducted by NuggMD, a leading telehealth platform for cannabis, has identified Lava Cake as the cannabis strain that most aligns with consumer preferences in terms of effects, flavor, and aroma. The survey, which gathered responses from over 6,500 randomized cannabis users across the U.S., revealed that Lava Cake stands out for its ability to meet a wide range of consumer desires, including pain relief, anxiety and stress relief, alongside preferences for fruity, sweet, and earthy flavors.

The findings underscore the strain's popularity and durability in the cannabis market, with relaxation and euphoria cited as the most sought-after effects by 30% and 24% of respondents, respectively. Notably, the poll also found that 48% of cannabis users prefer to consume it 'anytime,' reflecting a shift towards more frequent use as a means to manage stress and anxiety, particularly in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Deb Tharp, head of legal and policy research at NuggMD, commented on the societal implications of the data, suggesting that the increased use of cannabis for mental and emotional management rather than escapism mirrors the heightened stress levels among Americans today. The poll's methodology relied on first-party data, with a questionnaire sent to a random list of opt-in respondents who consume cannabis regularly, ensuring a representative sample with a margin of error of just 1.2%.
