06/30/2021 - Online survey prior to pilots: Product preferences and prices

The Universities of Basel and Zurich are conducting an anonymous online survey (duration approx. 3 min.) to find out the preferences of potential study participants. How much do people consume? How much money do they want to spend on THC products? Is hash or weed preferred? What about price expectations?

In order to have better information for the upcoming start of various projects in autumn, it would be good if as many people as possible would indicate their preferences and ideas by means of this survey - this way, offers and prices could correspond to the customer's wishes as much as possible already at the beginning of the projects and would not have to be constantly adjusted at the beginning.
