Summary: Approximately 6.89% of secondary school students reported medicinal cannabis use, representing one quarter of students reporting current cannabis use. The MCU group used cannabis more frequently, were more likely to vape and eat cannabis, had greater risk for cannabis dependence, perceived cannabis as less harmful, were more likely to use tobacco and recreational drugs, and were less likely to report good health and sleep for seven or more hours per night. The frequency of cannabis use explained differences in cannabis dependence risk, recreational drug use, and perception of cannabis harm between MCU and recreational cannabis use only groups.

The results showed that the enhanced web push condition had a higher response rate compared to the other conditions, with key estimates similar to those of the control group.
