Abstract in brief

  • Most oncologists frequently discuss marijuana use with their patients and nearly half recommend it, despite only 30% feeling fully informed to make such recommendations.
  • A significant gap exists between oncologists' lack of confidence in their knowledge about medicinal marijuana and their active engagement in conversations and recommendations.
  • While many oncologists see marijuana as potentially helpful for treatments like pain, anorexia, and cachexia, there is a need for more research and education to align clinical practices with scientific evidence.]
