Methodology 

This survey has been conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc UK panel of 800,000+ individuals who have agreed to take part in surveys. Emails are sent to panellists selected at random from the base sample. The e-mail invites them to take part in a survey and provides a generic survey link. The responding sample is weighted to the profile of the sample definition to provide a representative reporting sample. The profile is normally derived from census data or, if not available from the census, from industry accepted data.

YouGov plc make every effort to provide representative information. All results are based on a sample and are therefore subject to statistical errors normally associated with sample-based information. 

Questions and responses

CBD_Q1. For the following question, by “cannabidiol (CBD)”, we mean the oil extracted from a cannabis plant (also known as a marijuana plant). Before taking this survey, were you aware of any cannabidiol (CBD) based products?

CBD_Q1b. You previously mentioned you are aware of CBD cannabidiol (CBD) based products… Have you ever purchased any CBD cannabidiol (CBD) based products?

CBD_Q2. You previously mentioned you are aware of CBD cannabidiol (CBD) based products… How confident, if at all, are you that all CBD products are labelled with the correct information and properly tested by a regulatory authority?

CBD_Q3. How much more or less likely would you be to purchase/ use CBD cannabidiol (CBD) based products, if you could be certain that they had been produced to tight regulatory standards (i.e. they were rigorously tested and had to provide lots of information about the ingredients), or would it make no difference?

CBD_Q4.

Thinking about what you have just read: 

How much do you support or oppose the FSA’s decision?
