What proportion of people who use cannabis in Germany have spoken with their general practitioner about their consumption? A repeated cross-sectional representative population survey

Around one in fifteen people who have used cannabis before has ever spoken with his or her GP, or received advice, about his or her cannabis consumption. In people with past-year and especially frequent use, the proportions are highest, ranging between 16 to 26%. The awareness of this topic among GPs needs to be increased. Furthermore, a future re-evaluation of what impact cannabis legalisation will have on the frequency of consultation about cannabis consumption in primary care is necessary.
