Every marijuana user is not only a marijuana user, he is invariably also a friend, and his
friends also smoke. There is a positive and linear relation between the amount one smokes
and the percentage of one's friends who also smoke (see Table 10-3).

merely a passive requirement for selling and buying; it is also an active force which

in social relations that are marijuana-based. By buying and selling, one extends one's

n common patterning of functioning in all of these people, a common
pattern superimposed on their individual uniqueness, we may hypothesize something to explain this
common pattern. This hypothesized something might be a common personality trait, belief system,
physical attribute, or, in terms of our interest a common state of consciousness. Particularly, if we know
that all the observed individuals ingested marijuana just before we began observing them, we will be
tempted to say that the common pattern of functioning we observe is the result of their all being in a
state of marijuana intoxication.
Note, however, that it is the empirically observed common pattern of functioning1] that is the crucial
defining operation of the state of consciousness; the fact that they had all ingested marijuana serves
secondarily to specify something we think to be a cause of the hypothesized state of consciousness.
What, then, are the properties of this hypothesized state of consciousness, marijuana intoxication?
How do we discover these properties?
Clearly the way to answer this is to give marijuana to a number of people and observe what is
common in their experience and behavior. Unfortunately, the observation process is much more complex
and full of pitfalls than we would expect.
Much of our usual experience with the effects of drugs on consciousness misleads us into expecting
fairly simple relationships. If, for example, you give a strong dose of barbiturates or other sedatives to a
person, he almost always goes to sleep. Hence we describe the state of consciousness (or lack of it)
induced by barbiturates as a barbiturate-induced sleep. There is little variability across subjects, and our
observational process is simple.
With a psychoactive drug like marijuana, on the other hand, the variability across subjects is very
high, and the observation process itself may systematically bias what we observe, as will be detailed in
the next section. It may even turn out that different people might experience different states of
consciousness from using marijuana, that is, the observed patterns of experience and behavior fall into
several distinct patterns rather than a single pattern common to all individuals. We generally consider
alcohol intoxication, for example, as a single state, yet on a second thought there are clearly some
individuals who have very different experiences with alcohol from those the majority of us have. A drug
may thus stimulate a reorganization of functioning, but the nature of the new pattern may be determined
by factors other than the nature of the drug per se.
Let us consider in detail the question of why a given individual, taking marijuana (or any other
psychoactive drug, for that matter) at a particular time and place, might experience the particular things
that he does.
VARIABILITY OF DRUG-INDUCED STATES

marijuana will not necessarily result in a greater number of total events in which people
wish to become intoxicated simply because users will continue to use pot selectively as

when they feel that the occasion calls for that as well. However, it is an empirical question
which can not be answered beforehand as to whether those specific occasions where
alcohol is now consumed without intoxication will eventually call for marijuana use. I

Law enforcement officers, however, often feel rehabilitation to be a worthy goal. Often
a judge's sentence will hinge on his feeling that a jail sentence actually serves a
rehabilitation function. We are reminded of Lindesmith's description of one such case:
.
.
.
an occasional judge, ignorant of the nature of marihuana, sends a
marihuana user to prison to cure him of his nonexistent addiction.
The
writer was once in court when a middle-aged Negro defendant appeared
before the judge charged with having used and had in his possession one
marihuana cigarette during the noon hour at the place where he had worked
for a number of years. This man had no previous record and this fact was
stated before the court. Nevertheless, a two-year sentence was imposed to
"dry up his habit."40]
What, in fact, are the effects of arrests, convictions, and jail sentences on users? Are
they as likely to use again as they would if they were never arrested? This is, obviously,
impossible to answer. Nor can we compare their later arrest figures with the arrest figures

experimenter
Cannabis Cup 2004 interviewed the subject about his medical history, including dizziness, fainting spells, and
so forth. A tray
Indica of drugs and medical instruments, labeled "Emergency Tray," was clearly visible in the
background. No reference was made to it unless a subject asked about it, in which case he was told that
this was one of the precautionary measures taken for the experiment and that he had nothing to worry
about.
Instructions for the four-hour experimental period, termed "sensory deprivation," were given. They
included the fact that a physician was always available should anything untoward develop, and pointed
out that if the subject couldn't take it, he could push a button, labeled "Emergency Alarm," to summon
assistance.
The subject then had his blood pressure and pulse taken to further reinforce the "medical" atmosphere
and was asked to sign a form that released the sponsoring organization, all affiliated organizations, and
their personnel from legal consequences of the experiment.
The actual experimental treatment, spending four hours in a small, well-lighted, comfortably
furnished room, had nothing to do with sensory deprivation. Except for the observation window through
which the subject could be observed, it was essentially a normal room and all that happened to the
subject was that there was no one to talk with for four hours.
A second group, the control subjects, were greeted by the same experimenter but he wore ordinary
business clothes and acted in a less officious manner. There was no "Emergency Tray" in the interview
room, nor was a medical history taken. The subject was told he was a control subject for sensory
deprivation studies. The procedures typical of such studies were described to him, such as white noise
on earphones, translucent goggles to block out all patterned vision, soft beds to reduce touch sensations,
and rules prohibiting physical movement. There was no "Emergency Alarm" button in the experimental
room.
Each control subject then spent four hours in the experimental room; experimental conditions were
thus the same except for the demands.
Both groups were interviewed after the experimental period and given various psychological tests.
The experimental group showed a number of significant changes on the psychological tests typical of
those found in sensory deprivation studies. Further, this group reported many more classical sensory
deprivation effects than the control group, including more perceptual aberrations, feelings of intellectual
dulling, unpleasant emotions, spatial disorientation, and restlessness. Thus many of the effects
commonly attributed to a "powerful" treatment, sensory deprivation, can be obtained by the implicit
demands in experimental instructions.
I fear that the reader who is not himself a physician or psychologist (i.e., who accepts such
experimental conditions as "normal") will find the above description of experimental conditions rather
ludicrous. How c “These buds are army-green colored, crystally, and evenly covered with long dark orange (almost brown) hairs.
Broken up, these buds release the scent of sweet freshly cut grass or even hay with some slightly skunky

you right away, it first creeps through your body making you feel stoned and then only moderately effects your
cerebrum, allowing you to concentrate on any task at hand. **” – Homepage Amsterdam , 217,1392 (1971)

only kills. That is why the fire coming out of his head is very hot and his aura is
red, as if it were dyed with blood. Around his arm he carries a nacanaca snake

figures on his head.The other man, dressed in green, is a witch and a
sorcerer. He is a witch because he casts his spells so as to imprison a person and do
with him as he pleases. He is a sorcerer because he casts a spell to kill the person he
chooses.The one dressed in light blue is a perfect master who only heals. His aura is
light blue and he shows his knowledge with the light blue and white colours. He
carries the virote huani, which consists of glass arrows and a cumaceba Swartzia

The members of the antipot contingent who claim that alcohol is preferable to

have a single telling point, as I see it. This is that marijuana is always used to become
intoxicated, or high, and alcohol is often, indeed, perhaps most of the time, used for
nonintoxicatory purposes. Alcoholic substances are frequently consumed on many
occasions where the drinker does not become drunk or intoxicated. For instance, at many
sporting events—football and baseball games—several bottles of beer may be drunk by a

susceptible to bud mold in high humidity.” dr.atomic at the study of a cross-section of all individuals who have tried
marijuana, or even who smoke it regularly, however regularly might be defined, will yield
very few who are high all of the time, or even more than a few hours each evening. The
facts do not support the stoned model. When the user smokes marijuana he does, indeed,
become high, or stoned. And if one observed his behavior during this period, he is often
measurably less active than normally. But to say that it is the ultimate goal of a large
proportion of users to seek this state most of the time is to distort the facts. It is only
because researchers cannot understand why anyone would want to become high in the first
place that they find it necessary to attach the label "psychological addiction" or
"habituation" to his behavior and motives. If they found use of the substance acceptable,
they would not emit this labeling behavior.
It is clear that another model is necessary. And this model, I propose, is the recreational
model. It fits the facts more faithfully than any of the previously mentioned models. And
it contains none of the moral judgments that the others are clearly guilty of. The
recreational model takes issue with these perspectives. Essential to the recreational
conception of marijuana use are the following elements: (1) it is used freely,
noncompulsively; (2) it is smoked episodically—once or several times a week or so on the
average; (3) it is experienced as pleasurable by the participants; (4) it is used in
conjunction with (and not a replacement for) other enjoyable activities; (5) its impact on
one's life is relatively superficial; (6) its use results in relatively little harm to the
individual; and (7) its use is highly social. By adopting the recreational perspective toward
marijuana use, I do not wish to imply that everyone who has ever smoked marijuana may
be described in terms of this model, nor even that a majority of all users are typified by all
of these principles. It is, however, to say that this model presents a relatively accurate
summarization of the experiences of the characteristic user, that these traits are typically
found in marijuana use. In any case, the issue is an empirical one; if the model is
ineffective, then it must be discarded. In my own research, however, the recreational
model yielded far more insights and more accurately described the reality I investigated
than did any of the traditional models. I found that most users smoke marijuana
recreationally, and I believe that any study investigating a fairly representative group of
smokers will support the same generalization. It is possible, of course, to uncover some
individuals who are motivated by compulsive forces and experience overwhelmingly
unpleasant reactions. A study based on users who visit psychiatrists will, naturally be far
more likely to be composed of users whose experiences differ from the normal everyday
user's, and therefore cannot be taken
