“College Students Working In The Marijuana Industry”
The title of this post is the title of this interesting new 14-page report produced by the Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research. Here is an excerpt from the close of the report following the discussion of the major findings from a relatively small student survey in California:
In sum, these results reveal that students who report marijuana related employment generally provide manual labor in the form of trimming — rather than ownership and operation — for the local marijuana economy. Compared to non-marijuana-related work, marijuana employment for our student respondents is harder to obtain and earns less annually. Given that no prior research has sought to determine the extent and nature of college student employment in the marijuana industry, there is no baseline against which these results can be compared. Future research will 13 expand the sampling design to target college students on other CSU campuses.
