The recent legislative review of the Canadian Cannabis Act indicated that despite legalization of both medical and recreational use, cannabis consumers continue to experience stigmatization and report challenges accessing knowledgeable/supportive healthcare providers (2024). The current research examined factors related to cannabis consumers perceptions of stigma among medical professionals and the impact of perceived stigma on an individual’s likelihood to trust and consult a medical professional about their cannabis use. Researchers surveyed 1531 cannabis consumers and assessed length/frequency of cannabis consumption, reason for use, trust in medical professionals to provide accurate cannabis-related information, and perceived cannabis related healthcare provider stigma. Results indicated women, younger individuals, and longer and more frequent cannabis consumers perceived more cannabis-related stigma among healthcare providers. Additionally, cannabis consumers that indicated using for medical reasons only, reported significantly less perceived stigma than those that use cannabis for solely recreational or recreational and medical purposes. Further analyses revealed that cannabis consumers with increased perceptions of cannabis related healthcare provider stigma were less likely to consult with medical professionals about their cannabis use because they have less trust in healthcare professionals to provide accurate cannabis-related information. Findings highlight the need to identify strategies to decrease perceptions of stigma surrounding cannabis use in healthcare settings. Moreover, identifying strategies to increase cannabis consumers trust in the accuracy of cannabis knowledge among medical professionals may help to counteract the negative impact of perceived stigma on likelihood to consult healthcare providers about cannabis use, potentially contributing to more mindful and beneficial cannabis consumption practices.
