Consumers’ Perspectives on the Function of Marijuana in Their Lives
The overall objective of this study was to generate a taxonomy of how adults who regularly consume marijuana perceive its function in their lives. In particular, this study aimed to use grounded theory to understand the phenomenon of marijuana consumption from the consumer’s perspective, potentially broadening the framework beyond the binary categories of medical vs non-medical cannabis.
