Abstract
The drug patterns and attitudes of a heavy marihuana user sample drawn from the local [Canadian] "counter-culture" were examined. The heavier marihuana user has a different subjective attitude and perception of the drug''s effect than a lighter user. Second, multiple drug usage is the current and accepted mode within the sample. Age of initial usage of a specific agent, duration, frequency of usage and perceived drug effects may be dependent variables with reference to heavy marihuana and multiple drug usage. With respect to these variables, the question arises concerning what proportion of lighter drug using samples may, with time, adopt heavier and more varied drug patterns.
