A comparison of chronic versus casual marijuana users on personal values and behavioral orientations. 1978

T M Kimlicka, and H J Cross

Fifty-one chronic (daily) long-term marijuana smokers and 32 casual (1 to 3 times per week) users were interviewed and given a Rokeach Value Survey, a Personal Orientation Inventory (POI), and a Zuckerman Multiple Affect Adjective Check List. Value survey results showed that the two 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 risk, etc., which indicated "drug subculture involvement." Results are discussed from a sociological point of view.
