Methods Data are from 385 surveys collected via REDCap during phase I of an ongoing study among adult cancer patients seen at an NCI‐designated comprehensive cancer center within the last 5 years of treatment. A harmonized survey was created with 11 other NCI centers to assess cannabis use patterns, sources, and reasons for use. Sociodemographics and cancer details were also collected via self‐report. Descriptive statistics were calculated and stratified by +/−CDTX. Chi‐squared tests were conducted to compare proportions between groups. Results Among the sample [49.5 years (SD 15.9); 53.0% male; and 41.6% Hispanic/Latino], 41.0% + CDTX and 59.0% −CDTX. A majority (71.8%) of +CDTX initiated use before diagnosis versus 44.1% in −CDTX (p
