先前的研究表明，最近收紧的大学酒精政策在减少大学生饮酒方面是有效的。在这些更严格的酒精政策实施期间，大学生吸食大麻的人数有所增加。这就提出了一个问题，即当前旨在减少酒精消费的政策是否在无意中鼓励了大麻的使用。本文利用哈佛大学公共卫生学院的大学酒精研究（CAS） 1993年、1997年和1999年的数据，通过调查大学生对酒精和大麻的需求之间的关系，开始解决这个问题。我们发现酒精和大麻在经济上是互补的，提高酒精全价的政策会减少大麻的使用。版权所有©2004 John Wiley & Sons， Ltd
Previous research has shown that the recent tightening of college alcohol policies has been effective at reducing college students' drinking. Over the period in which these stricter alcohol policies have been put in place, marijuana use among college students has increased. This raises the question of whether current policies aimed at reducing alcohol consumption are inadvertently encouraging marijuana use. This paper begins to address this question by investigating the relationship between the demands for alcohol and marijuana for college students using data from the 1993, 1997 and 1999 waves of the Harvard School of Public Health's College Alcohol Study (CAS). We find that alcohol and marijuana are economic complements and that policies that increase the full price of alcohol decrease participation in marijuana use. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
