This online survey of Slovenian adults (n = 226) examined perceptions of medical cannabis within a context of legal ambiguity and limited institutional guidance. Support for legalization was high, but respondents commonly reported unclear understanding of what current law permits and limited trust in the accuracy of information received from healthcare professionals. Participants relied heavily on informal and online sources, highlighting gaps in regulatory clarity and professional readiness. These findings underscore the need for clear legal frameworks, improved clinical guidance, and more transparent communication to align public expectations with medical and legal practice in SloveniaOdnos javnosti do medicinske konoplje igra pomembno vlogo pri oblikovanju regulativne prakse in vključevanju novih terapij v zdravstvene sisteme. Spletna raziskava med slovenskimi odraslimi (n = 226) je preučevala dojemanje medicinske konoplje v okviru pravne nejasnosti in omejenih institucionalnih smernic. Podpora legalizaciji je bila visoka, vendar so anketiranci pogosto poročali o nejasnem razumevanju, kaj trenutna zakonodaja dovoljuje, ter o omejenem zaupanju v točnost informacij, ki so jih prejeli od zdravstvenih delavcev. Udeleženci so se v veliki meri zanašali na neuradne in spletne vire, kar poudarja vrzeli v jasnosti predpisov in strokovni pripravljenosti. Izsledki poudarjajo potrebo po jasnih pravnih okvirih, izboljšani klinični usmeritvi in preglednejši komunikaciji, kar bi prispevalo k usklajenosti pričakovanj javnosti z medicinsko in pravno prakso v SlovenijiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta
