Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude statistique sur un échantillon de 277 fumeurs de marijuana (des deux sexes). De grandes différences ont été établies entre le groupe des hommes et celui des femmes. La comparaison du statut social et économique fait état de différences significatives par rapport aux groupes de contrôle (non-consommateurs).
ENGLISH :
The demographic, life-style, and self-reported health characteristics of a convenience sample of 207 male and 70 female, non-Hispanic White, heavy marijuana users in Los Angeles County were compared with those of more representative county and national samples. Consistent with others researchers'findings, heavy marijuana users were found to differ significantly in living arrangements, job stability, and income. Heavy marijuana users did not differ in completed education, self-reported physical health, or use of alcohol and cigarettes. Heavy marijuana users were less likely to be married that non-users, but reported the same number of close friends with whom they interacted more frequently than same-aged comparison groups.
