Marihuana “High”—A First-Time Effect?

282 anonymous questionnaires were distributed in the Los Angeles area to assess the first-time subjective experiences under the influence of marihuana. A majority of the respondents did not experience the expected marihuana “high.” This supports the notion that multiple experiences are necessary to recognize a state of marihuana intoxication. Other assessments such as age of first use, social situations at first use, reasons for initial use, and frequency of current use were also made.
