The use of Cannabis sativa (marijuana) is popularly known, being the most commonly used illicit drug, and considered by its users as a non-harmful narcotic. This article aims to reflect on the collective imaginary of doctors about the use of marijuana, since, many times, these are the first professionals sought when the use of these substances denounces health problems. They are also those who subsequently provide users with the appropriate treatment and/or referral. Individual meetings were held with volunteer doctors, of various ages, medical specialties and of both sexes, using the Thematic Drawing-and-Story Procedure, based on the psychoanalytical approach, allowing the capture of unconscious psychological-experiential fields.
