Abstract

The authors questioned 1,063 future physicians at four medical schools in different geographic regions of the United States concerning their attitudes toward marijuana and its use. Their results indicated that past use of cannabis ranged from 17 percent of the students at one school to 70 percent at another. Over 500 students in the four schools had used marijuana at least once, and 114 said they had used the drug more than 100 times. More than 300 said they were using cannabis currently.
