There is a need for alternative and effective approaches to manage the cancer-related symptoms experienced by survivors. This cross-sectional study describes the current state of cannabis use and how cancer survivors use cannabis during their cancer management to alleviate their cancer-related symptoms including use pattern, product type, and mode of delivery of cannabis.

The most common types of cannabis products used were dry-leaf cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD) oil, and cannabis candy.
