New cannabis users flock to legal pot market, but prefer flower above all 

It turns out going legal has drawn some new customers to the cannabis market. A new report from Brightfield Group found that "newbies," or those who have only consumed cannabis since the drug was legalized in late 2018 are representing an increasingly-larger share of the legal market, a sign that it is garnering increased consumer interest in Canada. That's likely due to the recent advent of cheaper products, better known as the "value" segment, priced to compete directly with the illicit market. Meanwhile, the survey also found that dried flower products were the most popular for new cannabis users, with 43 per cent of "newbies" polled purchasing pot in that fashion, outpacing its other defined categories; gummies, chocolate and vapes.
