Name: Professor’s name: Course: Date: Marijuana Interview Recently I conducted an interview with four college students who use marijuana. The students are among a chain of students who are increasingly using drugs to look “cool.” Authorities say that this trend is a worrying and something needs to be done sooner than later. I, therefore, sought to understand why the students thought it was okay to use marijuana despite it being illegal in the state. While seeking the answer to this question I kept in mind that there are two main views about the use of Marijuana. The first viewpoint is that Marijuana is the least harmful to the body when compared to other drugs such as alcohol. The second viewpoint is that the use of Marijuana among young people is something common that will pass as they grow older. In this regard, it is believed that peer pressure is the main cause of substance abuse among young people. I conducted each of the interviews separately to avoid the bias of the answers from the respondents. The participants comprised of three male students and one female student. They were all aged between 20 and 25 years old. Also, two of the three male participants were black Americans, whereas the other was an international student from Sweden. The only lady in this group was a US native. I contacted some of them through the Narcotics Anonymous and got their written consent that they are willing to take part in the interview. I also guaranteed them that I would uphold confidentiality throughout the study and the information obtained from the interviews was for research purposes only. I also let them know that they could stop taking part in the interview any
