Michelle Newhart and her coauthor, Nicholas Athey published an article, “Cultivating Choice: Determinants of Home Cannabis Growing Among Legal Users in the United States,” that examines factors influencing the decision to grow cannabis at home by cannabis-consuming residents in legal states. Drawing on a survey of recent cannabis users in cannabis-legal states, they explore four potential explanations for home cultivation: legal access, needs-based motivations, resource-based factors, and identity-based reasons. Their analysis reveals that home growers differ significantly from non-growers across multiple dimensions.
