对澳大利亚3272人的配额样本进行了电话调查，调查对象是吸食大麻的健康风险。五分之三的人(62%)认为吸食大麻会导致健康问题，四分之一(27%)的人不确定。最常被提及的健康影响是：肺癌、精神问题、记忆力丧失和呼吸系统疾病。人们认为，使用大麻的健康风险随着使用频率的增加而增加，当使用者是青少年而不是成年人时，风险更大。大麻的健康风险随着年龄的增长而增加，女性的风险高于男性，随着教育程度、饮酒频率和数量的增加而下降，在吸食大麻的人和认识吸食大麻的人中大大降低。
A quota sample of 3272 people from the Australian population was surveyed by telephone about the health risks of marijuana use. Three-fifths of the sample (62%) believed that there were health problems caused by marijuana use and one in four (27%) were uncertain. The most commonly cited health effects were: lung cancer, mental problems, memory loss and respiratory disease. The health risks of marijuana use were perceived to increase with increasing frequency of use, and to be greater when the user was a teenager rather than an adult. The perceived health risks of marijuana increased with age, were higher among women than men, decreased with increasing education and frequency and quantity of alcohol and were substantially lower among those who had used marijuana, and those who knew someone who had used marijuana.
