Abstract

ABSTRACT Until quite recently, cannabis was the most widely used illicit drug globally. Using collective memory work, this study focuses on experiences of cannabis use as part of young persons’ deviant leisure repertoire and explores its role in identity formation processes. The study included a group process of analyzing our own memories of early experience of cannabis use, as well as analysis of the group research meetings themselves. Three themes emerged from the analysis: 1. The construction of cannabis as both cool and dangerous; 2. Smoking cannabis for the first time as a rite of passage; 3. Cannabis smoking as an extraterritorial space that allows exploration and identity formation in adolescence/early adulthood. A fourth theme that emerged from the analysis of the group meetings is cannabis use as part of identity work in adulthood. The study demonstrates that the label “cannabis user” has had an important role in our identity formation.

娱乐性大麻使用和身份形成:一项集体记忆工作研究

摘要直到最近，大麻还是全球使用最广泛的非法药物。本研究利用集体记忆工作，将大麻使用体验作为年轻人越轨休闲的一部分，并探讨其在身份形成过程中的作用。这项研究包括一个小组过程，分析我们自己对大麻使用早期经历的记忆，以及对小组研究会议本身的分析。分析得出三个主题：1。大麻既酷又危险；2.第一次吸食大麻作为成人仪式；3.大麻吸烟是一种域外空间，允许在青少年/成年早期进行探索和形成身份认同。对小组会议的分析得出的第四个主题是，大麻的使用是成年后身份工作的一部分。这项研究表明，“大麻使用者”这个标签在我们的身份形成中发挥了重要作用。
