Abstract

Previous literature suggests that graduate students do not perceive marijuana use as more risky than undergraduates. However, the sample size for those studies were small. In the current study, we use a sample of 88,968 students across the U.S. to demonstrate that graduate students find marijuana more risky than undergraduates.
