Abstract
The use of marijuana is a topic of much interest today not only among law enforcement and health officials, but among lay citizens as well. Parents are especially concerned over the alleged increase in the popularity of marijuana use among young people of college age and younger. Not uncommonly the subject is treated in an alarmist fashion by popular magazines proclaiming, for example, that the problem “has now spread far beyond its base in the hippie ghettos” (Life, 1967: 17). Marijuana “used to be the magic grass of the Negro ghetto, or the jazz world, or—more recently—the hippie community. But now it is entering the bloodstream of U.S. middle-class life” (Newsweek, 1967: 46).
