any more frequently. Furthermore,
there appears to be no relationship whatsoever between the amount the respondent smokes
and his likelihood of arrest. Three of our daily smokers had been arrested for "serious"
crimes; three of those who smoked three to six times a week were arrested for these
crimes; three of our one to two times weekly smokers were so arrested, three of the

respondents who smoked one to four times monthly were arrested, and three of the less
than monthly users were arrested for these crimes. Although these numbers are extremely
small, the fact of their perfect dispersal is perhaps indicative of the lack of a crimeinducing
effect of the drug. It is, at any rate, a proposition which ought to be tested more
systematically in the future with more complete data. For the moment, there are
indications that point to the fact that the marijuana smoker is no more criminal than the
rest of the population.
A Note on the Sociology of Crime
The typical smoker's attitude toward the law cannot be thought of simply as a general
"disrespect for law," that is, any
marijuana necklace and all laws. Law is not thought of as evil by

users simply
because it is law. Certain laws are thought of as good and others as evil. Obviously, the
marijuana laws are rejected as unjust. (Among our respondents, 95 percent wanted to do

) But simply because "the law is the law" does not make it
just. There is a selectivity accorded to laws. Therefore, this inclination toward greater
deviance in general actually predisposes users to disobey only certain laws. Users do not
question the justice of many laws, particularly laws connected with violence—armed
robbery, rape, mayhem, murder, assault.
Others of a political character will be more
readily rejected. As I pointed out, my interviewees were
Cannabis Kryptonite far more likely to commit and be
arrested for crimes connected with political demonstrations than any other type of crime.
Marijuana users are also probably

sex crimes connected with violence or coercion, such as rape, child molestation, or
exhibitionism; probably not even sexual crimes that result in arrest. But many sexual
activities are criminal: fellatio, cunnilingus, premarital intercourse, adultery, pornography,
abortion, sodomy, homosexuality. There is no doubt in my mind that users are far more
likely to commit these "harmless" sex crimes than nonusers. Their greater willingness to
deviate, to experiment, to disregard conventional sexual mores, probably indicates a more
general unconcern for norms that, they think, are obsolete.
The word "criminal" conjures up in the mind a definite stereotype. When we think of
crime, we generally think of violent crimes. If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that
marijuana users probably commit violent crimes no more than, and possibly less than, the
population at large. But Seedstopickoutofpot
