Core Tip This letter critiques a recent study revealing reduced sepsis mortality in cancer patients with cannabis use disorder. We highlight methodological limitations (e.g., coding bias and lack of dosage data) and propose future directions, including mechanistic studies on cannabinoid immunomodulation and policy reforms to address socioeconomic disparities. Key innovations include reconciling paradoxical findings through updated preclinical evidence, equitable policy frameworks to translate findings into clinical practice, and aligning policy recommendations with consensus and guidelines (e.g., National Comprehensive Cancer Network).
