Résumé : | Data collected in Rwanda in 1959-1960 show cannabis in its social and cultural context. Cannabis use has its place in a socio-cultural system that determines its character and extent and that is in turn affected by the nature of cannabis use. The use of cannabis was virtually confined to the men of a miniscule, despised and backward social group, the Twa, constituting less than one percent of the population. The expectation of strong effects causing violent behavior, methods of smoking cannabis designed to produce such effects, and the connection of Twa cannabis use with the social status, role, and culturally assigned "character" of the Twa, all combined to restrict use to the Twa and to prevent its spread to the non-Twa, 99 percent of the population of Rwanda.
