Cannabis consumption remains prevalent among medical students across the globe, according to new research published by the Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry. Findings show that 29.2% of medical students reported lifetime cannabis use, 20.5% reported use in the past year, 9.2% in the past month, and 5.1% in the past week. While cannabis use declined among medical students from 38.4% in the 1970s to 18.1% in the 2000s, prevalence has increased again in recent years, reaching 30.4% in the 2020s. Researchers attribute this rise largely to trends in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The authors conclude that while cannabis use among medical students has fluctuated over time, it remains widespread and is once again on the rise.
