Abstract
The results of a study of New England college students indicate that in 1977, marijuana and alcohol use among college students was widespread. Nearly all students reported that they drank alcoholic beverages, and more than two-thirds indicated that they had used one or more other drugs within the past year. Of these students, about 60% smoked marijuana, a drug that seems to be related to a student life-style involving the use of alcohol and other “recreational” drugs. Differences between those students who do smoke marijuana and those who abstain are apparently declining as marijuana use becomes more prevalent.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
