A Comparison of Chronic Versus Casual Marijuana Users on Personal Values and Behavioral Orientations

Abstract
Chronic, (daily) long-term human marihuana smokers [51] and casual (1-3 .times. per wk) users [32] were interviewed and given a Rokeach Value Survey, a Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) and a Zuckerman Multiple Affect Adjective Check List. The 2 groups had the same general value structure. The POI showed no differences between the groups, and the adjective self-ratings were similar. The groups were significantly different on a number of social variables; number of user friends, longest period without drugs, perceived risks, etc., which indicated drug subculture involvement.
