ABSTRACT

Cannabis use in college is far from new, and this chapter is a panoramic view of cannabis within the college milieu: how students obtain, experience, use, and share it as well as the role it plays in the domains of Greek life, student conduct, law enforcement, housing, and collegiate sports. In surveying this landscape, we hope to show how the overall fabric of collegiate culture is imbued with cannabis use—how pervasive it is compared to years ago when it was a little-known drug used only by those on the fringe of university life.
