A recent survey of 603 cannabis consumers found that respondents were much more likely to exercise than eat fast food (nearly five times more likely) or drink alcohol (three times more likely), Marijuana Moment reports.

In the survey, 27.4% of respondents reported exercising daily, and 34.9% said they exercise multiple times per week. In contrast, 6.1% said they drink alcohol daily, while 11.3% said they drink multiple times per week; and 1.5% said they eat fast food daily, while 11.5% said they eat fast food multiple times per week.

Conducted by cannabis telehealth firm NuggMD, the survey offers “yet more evidence that today’s cannabis consumers defy the prohibitionist stereotype of layabouts munching Doritos,” NuggMD’s communications head, Andrew Graham, said in the report.

“The data shows that cannabis consumers self-report several healthy lifestyle habits. When compared with federal data on exercise and fast food consumption, our poll shows that cannabis consumers are in fact more likely to exercise and less likely to eat fast food than the average U.S. adult. Previous polling we’ve done shows cannabis has a distinct replacement effect on alcohol use, and this poll charts a similar direction.” — Graham, via Marijuana Moment

The survey results echo the findings of a study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research last year, which found that cannabis use is “significantly associated with higher prevalence of physical activity” and that physical exercise in general was more common in states with access to legal cannabis.

Meanwhile, a Gallup poll last November found that a record 15% of Americans said they were current cannabis consumers. Last month, another survey found that older Americans are using cannabis at higher rates than ever before.
