The Marijuana Community at
St. Olaf College
-Student Perceptions-
Marc Hosmer and Rebecca Oestreich

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of studentsā?? perceptions regarding whether or not a community based on the smoking of marijuana exists at St. Olaf College. It serves as a pilot study that will lead to further investigation into the interactions among members of that community. Through qualitative research we discovered that students do perceive there to be a marijuana smoking community at St. Olaf that exists both while smoking and while not engaging in smoking. We also learned about perceptions of the students making up the community; how they are stereotyped; how the administration is perceived to view this community and marijuana smoking in general; and how accepted marijuana smokers at St. Olaf College actually are.

Is There a Marijuana Community at St. Olaf?
Fourteen out of the sixteen people interviewed in our study said that there is a marijuana smoking community at St. Olaf College. Obviously not all people who smoke marijuana at St. Olaf will be a part of the same community. However, the perception is that the act of marijuana smoking creates a bond among those involved.
