Abstract

<p>An increasing number of young people are using marijuana out of curiosity. Surveys have been conducted on university student attitudes towards marijuana and drug use. Still, there is a lack of research on awareness of cannabidiol (CBD) products as types of cannabis are increasingly more diverse. This study surveyed pharmacy students’ awareness of marijuana and CBD products. The results showed that while the understanding of marijuana’s illegality was high, recognition of CBD products was low, and the participants vaguely perceived these products as similar to marijuana. The participants identified the following actions they should take regarding marijuana and CBD products: acquiring and sharing correct information, rejecting abuse and recommendation of illegal drugs, actively learning about the pharmacy profession, handling drugs as a pharmacy professional, and understanding more about the medical uses and risks of cannabis. The results suggested that pharmacy schools must provide general guidance on drug abuse prevention through specialized content in addition to social and legal norms and incorporate it into the students’ visions of their future pharmacy profession.</p>
