Conducted 2 experiments with a total of 120 males (mean age= 23 yr.) to determine to what extent marihuana intoxication is the result of drug effects, expectancy, social setting, or an interaction of these factors. In Exp. I, Ss 1st swallowed a placebo pill and then smoked either 2 placebo cigarettes or two marihuana cigarettes containing a total of l5 mg. D9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The cigarettes were smoked in a setting designed to either facilitate intoxication (" up night") or interfere with it (" down night") through manipulation of S's expectancy and through modeling. Results indicate that the amount of marihuana smoked impaired cognitive functioning and was rated as more intoxicating than the placebo. Manipulations of setting and belief had no effect. In Exp. II, Ss smoked 2 cigarettes containing either placebo, 7.5 mg. THC, or l5 mg. THC. Ss who smoked placebo cigarettes 1st swallowed a pill containing either 10 or 25 mg. librium (chlordiazepoxide). Ss who smoked cigarettes containing THC received placebo pills. Smoking was done in either" up night" or" down night" contexts. Results suggest that social setting and belief interact with smaller doses of marihuana but not with large doses nor with placebo.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
