Clinical Experience and Student Support for Medical Cannabis Use: A Secondary Analysis
Findings indicate that clinical experience, personal cannabis use, and demographic factors each influence students' attitudes toward MC. Students with healthcare experience exhibited lower support, possibly reflecting exposure to traditional medical norms or institutional stigma. These results underscore the need to integrate evidence-based MC education into healthcare curricula to enhance student knowledge, address misconceptions, and prepare future professionals to engage in informed, stigma-free patient care.
