在一家艾滋病诊所对72名病人进行的一项关于用娱乐性药物自我治疗与其疾病有关的医疗或心理状况的调查显示，大麻是使用的主要药物。感知的益处是胃肠道疾病，如恶心、呕吐、消化不良和食欲改善。据报道，使用其他“娱乐性”药物作为自我药疗通常无效或使他们寻求帮助的病情恶化。58%的患者报告了一些自我克制的尝试。32%的人目前正在使用大麻，大多数人承认艾滋病前使用大麻。57%的样本报告了艾滋病前的药物使用，主要是酒精和大麻。结果进行了讨论，在潜在的临床问题所产生的艾滋病患者之间继续娱乐性药物的使用。
A survey of 72 patients at an AIDS clinic regarding self-medication with recreational drugs for medical or psychological conditions related to their illness disclosed that marijuana was the primary drug used. The perceived benefit was for gastrointestinal conditions such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion and appetite improvement. Use of other ''recreational'' drugs as self-medication was reported to usually be ineffective or to worsen the condition they sought to help. Fifty-eight percent of patients reported some attempt to self-medicate. Thirty-two percent were currently using marijuana, and most admitted to pre-AIDS marijuana use. Fifty-seven percent of the sample reported some pre-AIDS drug use, primarily alcohol and marijuana. Results are discussed in terms of potential clinical problems arising from continued recreational drug use among AIDS patients.
