The aim of the survey completed by 640 Australian general practitioners (GP) was to examine the knowledge and attitudes of GP towards medicinal cannabis. The results show that the majority of surveyed practitioners are supportive or neutral when it comes to medicinal cannabis use. The survey also highlights the need for additional, improved training for GPs around treating with medicinal cannabis.
