Article Synopsis
- The legalization of recreational cannabis in the US is on the rise, prompting concerns about Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and the knowledge pharmacy students have regarding it.
- A survey of pharmacy students from both legalized and nonlegalized states found that those in legalized states had significantly higher knowledge scores about CUD, showing a 40% increase after adjusting for other factors.
- To better prepare for future patient needs, it is important for pharmacy schools to provide formal education on CUD, considering that students may move between states with different cannabis regulations.
