Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The opposing piece penned by Kent highlights the common conflation of illicit and medicinal cannabis use.1 Indeed, cannabis is one of the most widely used illicit drugs world-wide, and a great deal of research has focused on the harms associated with such use; however, applying this same logic to medicinal cannabis is like comparing street-sourced heroin to that of pharmaceutical opioids. The composition, dose, intent, safety, and medical oversight all fundamentally differ between illicit and medicinal consumers.
