This research on public awareness of cultivation, possession and use of cannabis extracts for medical use is intended to investigate the general public's perception of cannabis and to analyze and compare factors affecting the level of public awareness of cannabis. The data were collected from 432 participants aged 18 years old and above using an online questionnaire with the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with post-hoc test and multiple regression analysis.
The results of study revealed that the level of public awareness about cannabis on cultivation was the highest at 5.50 and possession 4.96. In addition, the results of the comparative analysis of public awareness of cultivation, possession and use of cannabis extracts for medical use showed that the group of inexperienced people with cannabis (or hemp) use had a level of public awareness about the cultivation aspect, possession aspect and the use of extracts and their utilization for alternative medicine to be an economic plant significantly less than those who experienced different forms of cannabis use. Moreover, the results from the multiple regression equation found that gender, education, area of residence, experience and demanding behavior using marijuana had an effect on people's public perception.
