Another interesting concentrate trend in year-to-date 2021 data shows a shift in female product preferences, with concentrates overtaking edibles in popularity for the first half of the year:

Cartridges & Pens – 34%
Concentrates – 10.2%

“While 420 remains the top-grossing cannabis culture holiday, we’ve seen year-over-year increases in concentrate spending on 710,” said James Ahrendt, Business Intelligence Architect at Akerna. “What really caught my attention in this report was that for the first time, females are spending more on concentrates over edibles in 2021. Edibles have long been perceived as the easiest way to dose your marijuana, but as the stigma around use decreases and availability of cannabis increases, consumers are changing how they consume cannabis.”
