A 5.5% random sample was drawn from among enrolled students at the U of California, Los Angeles, resulting in a sample of 1,594 undergraduate & graduate students. 926 mail questionaire responses were received (response rate= 58.1%). The final sample appeared slightly biased toward F's & seniors, with too few sophomores. The following findings emerged: Nearly 50% of the students had tried marijuana. Younger students indicated less frequent use but a greater f to purchase their own. Whether a student had tried marijuana or not was independent of sex, but being a purchaser or non-purchaser among smokers is dependent on sex, is, M's are more apt to purchase their own than F's. Nearly all marijuana transactions involve `friends' & at least 60% of smokers claimed they turned on with friends. Foreign students were much less frequent smokers than US students. But among those foreign students who smoked, the % of those who were purchasers was just as high as among US students. Class standing influence on smokers & non-smokers may be expected to change in the near future as today's seniors (who have a large % of smokers) become tomorrow's graduate students. The age density function is likely to flatten out over time. While age did not seem to affect pruchasing, it was a factor in explaining the variations in the relative f of smokers & non-smokers within each age bracket. The regression results seemed to indicate that a peak in the relative f of smokers was reached around the 25-yr old level. In general, the smokernon-smoker breakdown was much more responsive to variations in age, class standing & place of birth than the purchasernon-purchaser breakdown. The reverse is true for the sex variable. 3 Tables. M. Maxfield.
