Adults with chronic pain are significantly more supportive of policies expanding cannabis access than the physicians who treat them, according to a study from Rutgers Health and other institutions.
The study, published in JAMA Network Open, surveyed more than 1,600 people with chronic pain and 1,000 physicians in states with medical cannabis programs, including N.J. Researchers found that 71% of chronic pain patients supported federal legalisation of medical cannabis, compared with 59% of physicians.
