This Bachelor paper deals with the subject of experience that pupils of basic schools in Havlíčkův Brod have of using marijuana. The theoretical section describes the cannabis plant and marijuana proper; its effects; the methods of use; and the detrimental impacts the drug has on health and personality. Moreover, the section tackles the issues of drug addiction development as the process is related to taking marijuana itself, tobacco products and other drugs. The author has also addressed (1) the possibilities available to prevent the addiction at all levels; (2) the risk factors predisposing children and youth to abuse drugs and experiment with them; and last but not least (3) the anti-addiction policy and the principle acts of the relevant legislation applicable in the Czech Republic. The paper aimed to map the use and misuse of marijuana and tobacco products; to reveal the ways, forms and intensity of using marijuana in the pupils of basic schools; and to disclose the reasons behind using the drug and the scope of using tobacco in the basic school pupils. The paper examines three hypotheses. Hypothesis 1 predicts that smokers of tobacco products will have wider experience of marijuana than non-smokers. Hypothesis 2 predicts that boys will have more extensive experience of using marijuana than girls. Hypothesis 3 predicts that the town of Havlíčkův Brod will have greater incidence of marijuana abuse than the rest of the Czech Republic. The qualitative survey that the paper relies on has been conducted through an anonymous questionnaire, where the sample of respondents has been chosen according to quotas, specifically with regard to the respondents' age, sex and their being pupils of the 9th form of basic schools in Havlíčkův Brod. To obtain information having the highest achievable validity and variability, the data were gathered in the different classes without any person of authority for the respondents being present. The data thus collected were then processed by the common statistical methods to prove the hypotheses true of false. Fifty nine percent of boys and 75% of girls were found to have experience of tobacco products. Marijuana was tried by 27% of boys and 21% of girls. The method of marijuana use encountered in both boys and girls was smoking, 26% and 18% respectively, and the reason mentioned most often by both boys and girls was curiosity, 18% in both cases. Twenty five percent of boys and 20% of girls admitted experience of marijuana and tobacco products, while 2% of boys and 2% of girls have experience of marijuana but not of the tobacco products.
