marihuana use and its effects
Experimental Users
The first and by far the largest group has been designated as "experimenters"
because of their extremely infrequent or non-persistent marihuana usage. Experimentation
with the drug is motivated primarily by curiosity and a desire to share a social
experience. These experimenters are characteristically quite conventional and practically
indistinguishable from the non-user in terms of life style, activities, social
integration, and vocational or academic performance.
Disciplined, optimistic, and self-confident, experimenters appear to be as
conventional, responsible, goal-oriented and orderly as non-users.
