These figures keep our hope alive that the comprehensive regulation of cannabis may be getting closer to becoming a reality.<\/h5>\n\n<h5>Compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/marisana.es\/en\/statistics-on-cannabis-consumption-in-spain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>previous study already published on our BLOG<\/strong><\/a>, the average percentage of the consumer population rises from 7% to 12.6%, increasing by nearly three million more consumers.<\/h5>\n\n<h5>The map of national consumption generally maintains the same behavioral pattern, with peaks of consumers in the Mediterranean arc:<\/h5>\n\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5>Baleares: With 14.9% and an increase of 4.1% compared to the previous study.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>The Valencian Community: With 14.2% and an increase of 3.3% compared to the previous study.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><strong>Catalonia<\/strong>: With 14.3% and a <strong>very significant increase of 5.6% compared to the previous study<\/strong>.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5>The Region of Murcia: With 12.5% and an increase of 5.2% compared to the previous statistics.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h5>As we can see, the new study shows increases in the prevalence of consumption in almost all Autonomous Communities, highlighting above all the strong rise (18.5% more) observed in <strong>Extremadura, which with 23.1% now occupies the top position in the ranking by a wide margin<\/strong>.<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-4609-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div
