Cannabis cultivation in Denmark 2020-2022
Research project on cannabis cultivation and the development of cultivation among people who grow cannabis for their own consumption, for sharing amongst friends or a small clientele. The study is part of a larger international study.
Aims
The study is a follow-up of a questionnaire on cannabis cultivation from 2012 among people in 11 countries, and the aim is to study developments of cannabis cultivation. Are we going to see any differences or similarities between 2012 and 2020-2021? Have new cultivation methods been introduced?
Is there a difference in the reasons why people grow cannabis? Will changes in legislation be reflected in the 2020-2021 results, with decriminalization and legalization taking place in more countries? Will we see an increase in cannabis cultivation for medicinal use? It is questions like these what we hope to answer.
Background
In 2012 the Global Cannabis Cultivation Research Consortium (GCCRC) which consist of researchers from around the world launched the very first comparative questionnaire on cannabis cultivation.
The study took place in 11 countries, including Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Australia and England. The purpose was to create knowledge about cultivation patterns and to investigate growers’ own experiences with home cultivation including advantages and disadvantages of growing cannabis at home. Most of those who responded to the questionnaire grew 1-20 plants and did so primarily for themselves and/or for a small circle of buyers.
The 2020-2021 study is also created by the GCCRC-group and currently takes place in 16 countries in 11 different languages (Danish, Finnish, Spanish, French, English, Portuguese, Italian, Georgian etc.)
