Public Health is asking residents to complete a new survey on the use of medicinal cannabis and other substances.
The online questionnaire is open from today until Wednesday March 18.
The study aims to understand the use and user experience of medicinal cannabis, the extent of alcohol and illicit drug use and public attitudes towards substances.
Dr. Matt Tyrer, Director of Public Health, said: “The survey is important because it gives us the opportunity to get a solid research-base on medicinal cannabis use since the legislation changed.”
“Answers are valuable because they will help to inform us of patterns in society of substance use and better understand the experience of medicinal cannabis,” he added.
The anonymised data will be compared with previous studies. Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is conducting the research.
