Veterans enrolled in VHA in states with legalized cannabis may be particularly likely to use cannabis. Veterans identifying as recreational users may be at increased risk for adverse clinical outcomes compared to medical-only users. Prevalence monitoring, assessment, and intervention services should be considered, particularly in states with legalized cannabis. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
