Voluntary Reduction of Cannabis Use Among Graduate Students

Abstract
Conceptualizing drug use within stages of drug career, this study explored differences between former and current regular marihuana users and the factors associated with reduction of their marihuana use. A total population of 2983 graduate students were surveyed with a purposive sampling technique resulting in interviews with 186 study subjects. While no attribute variables were predictive of reduction or discontinuance, the frequency of substitution of other activities significantly differed among groups. The implications of these results are discussed within the context of alternative life-style changes in the marihuana usage of study subjects.
