CBDistillery has released a new study showing the generational shifts in CBD usage and wellness priorities.
DENVER, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A groundbreaking study by CBDistillery has uncovered significant generational differences in how Americans approach CBD use and wellness, highlighting an evolving landscape in health consciousness across age groups. The comprehensive research, which surveyed 500 CBD users nationwide, reveals that younger generations are driving a fundamental shift toward mental wellness and preventative care, while older adults focus primarily on physical wellness management.
"This data suggests a fundamental shift in how younger generations approach wellness," says Andy Papilion, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. "They're not waiting for physical ailments; they're actively seeking solutions for mental wellbeing."
Key Findings:
Mental Health Takes Center Stage for Younger Users
- 44% of Gen Z and 36% of Millennial CBD users prioritize anxiety and stress management
- In contrast, 62% of Baby Boomers and 54% of Gen X users primarily seek pain relief
- Sleep improvement remains a consistent priority across generations, with usage ranging from 18-30%
Investment in Wellness Varies Significantly
- Younger generations show higher wellness investment, with 30% of Gen Z users spending over $100 monthly on CBD
- Baby Boomers demonstrate more conservative spending, with 65% allocating under $50 monthly
- Millennials lead in the mid-range spending category, with 35% investing $51-$100 monthly
Digital Divide in Product Research
- 53% of Gen Z users employ multiple digital channels, including search engines, social media, and online reviews
- Baby Boomers rely heavily on healthcare providers (40%) and traditional information sources
- Gen X and Millennials balance between digital research and professional healthcare guidance
The study also revealed consistent satisfaction rates across generations, with users rating CBD's effectiveness at 7.1 out of 10 for overall well-being, stress management, and sleep quality.
"These findings demonstrate the evolution of wellness priorities across generations," says Andy Papilion, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer. "Understanding these differences enables us to better serve each generation's unique needs while contributing to the broader conversation about preventative wellness and mental health."
