Introduction: The legalization of recreational cannabis in Canada has increased accessibility and acceptability leading to increased consumption. Pharmacists are trained as medication experts and can play a key role in supporting customers through harm reduction and safe medical cannabis use decisions. However, the Cannabis Act, nor professional standards of practice, outline any role for pharmacists in dispensing or helping their patients navigate cannabis related decisions, outside of assessment for use. The purpose of this study was to identify pharmacists' perceived roles in providing cannabis related care.   
Methods: This mixed methods study combines a survey (n=345) with qualitative semi-structured interviews (n=18) conducted with Canadian pharmacists. Participants were recruited through the Canadian Pharmacists Association and online pharmacy forums. Descriptive statistics were used for survey data, while thematic analysis was conducted on interview transcripts. Data was integrated to understand pharmacist’s roles and how they could be implemented in practice. 
Results: Pharmacists surveyed believed that they should have a role in dispensing (78.4%) and counselling (79.9%) medical cannabis. Almost half (47%) believed they had a role counselling for recreational use. Qualitative findings helped to contextualize these roles and how to operationalize them further. The following themes were identified: regulations; education and clinical guidance; operational challenges; and harm reduction.  
Conclusion: Pharmacists are an accessible healthcare provider with medication expertise and can support patients with cannabis related care. However, there are barriers to providing care that need to be overcome before pharmacists can fully embrace these roles.
