Abstract
AbstractA sample of 100 marijuana users and 77 nonusers were surveyed with respect to their perceptions of various factors related to the use of marijuana and its effects. Marijuana users and nonusers were not found to differ in terms of demographic variables, perceptions of sources influential in the decision to use marijuana, and perceived reasons for the use of marijuana. Users and nonusers were found to differ with regard to types of drugs used other than marijuana, perception of sources potentially influential in the users' decision to discontinue using marijuana, and perception of effects experienced by marijuana intoxicated persons. Nonusers were thus found to be generally cognizant of factors associated with the use of marijuana but relatively naive concerning the major effects of a marijuana high as perceived by nonusers.
