Friends With Weed, Friends Indeed: College Students Negotiating Marijuana Legalization

The presenters will share findings from a national qualitative study that explored the experiences of college students following the recreational marijuana legalization. Findings suggested a general lack of knowledge regarding cannabis consumption and legalization. However, there is a desire to practice safe consumption and receive a more meaningful education on the topic. Recommendations for practice will be provided for higher education institutions to increase efforts to educate on safe practices and challenge stigma and misperceptions.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Articulate student perceptions about the legal use of marijuana use
2. Identify the campus legal contexts for legal use of marijuana
3. Distinguish marijuana legalization and use between off-campus and on-campus contexts
