Abstract
Background: With the widespread legalization of cannabis and use among all age groups, location and source of cannabis remains to be researched, especially among minority populations. Methods: We pooled data from the 2018–2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health and investigated differences by sexual minority status of where individuals obtained cannabis. Results: Results found that gay/lesbian and bisexual individuals who reported use were more likely to get marijuana from buying it, trading it for something else and getting it for free or sharing someone else’s, compared to heterosexual individuals. Furthermore, more than one in five lesbian/gay individuals reported obtaining marijuana from someone they just met while nearly 25% of bisexual women reported obtaining marijuana from a friend. Conclusions: Findings from the present study may inform harm reduction and policy initiatives.
