Medical cannabis is legal in 33 US states [
[1]
] but remains federally illegal. The majority of legal states require physicians to
provide cannabis recommendations in order for patients to have access to it. Our primary
study objective was to assess the knowledge, experience and beliefs regarding medical
cannabis in US emergency medicine (EM) physicians. A secondary objective was to determine
any effects based on demographic variables.Source: National Conference of state legislatures. Accessed May 4, 2019 at http://www.ncsl.org/research/health/state-medical-marijuana-laws. aspx.
