The clerk outranks the doctor, until the question turns medical

In a US online survey, cannabis dispensary staff scored 3.7 out of five for trust, versus 3.4 for healthcare providers. For medicinal use, however, 55% named a healthcare provider as their most trusted source and 20% named dispensary staff: the white coat is not ready for the cloakroom. The authors surveyed 1,023 adults in 2024 who had used a THC-containing product in the previous month. These responses describe trust within the surveyed group; the study did not test the accuracy of the advice itself.
