ABSTRACT

This graduating student shares his ambivalence about his relationship with marijuana, his use fueled by grief following the death of his brother. He has conflicted feelings toward a drug he enjoys, but one that creates dissonance in other domains of his life, such as his relationship with his girlfriend and his own future goals. His story is typical of those who have reached a point in their college careers when graduation looms, and with it the internal pressure to reassess what role weed will play in their future.
