Abstract

The similarities and differences in a common set of motives for alcohol and marijuana were examined among experienced users of both drugs. Social motives were more highly endorsed for alcohol than marijuana, but expansion motives were more highly endorsed for marijuana. Experienced users of marijuana and alcohol were found to discriminate between their reasons for using the drugs.
