Previous research has explored marijuana's effects, but interpersonal expectations require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate interpersonal expectations regarding marijuana behavior among users and nonusers.
To identify key variables influencing these expectations.

Main Methods:

Open-ended questions were used to gather data on how marijuana use/nonuse affects relationships.
Responses were categorized (22 categories) and cross-tabulated with behavioral, social, experiential, and attitudinal variables.

Main Results:

Frequency of marijuana use and favorability of drug attitudes significantly influence interpersonal expectations.

Former users and nonusers with unfavorable attitudes anticipate social/personal impairment from use and rejection for nonuse.

Conclusions:

Interpersonal expectations for marijuana behavior are complex and depend on individual usage patterns and attitudes.
Findings highlight differing perceptions of social and personal consequences associated with marijuana use and nonuse.
