Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A fundamental problem in illicit drug research is that relatively little is known about the actual weights of illegal retail units, and about how prices are managed within different markets. Most data comes from police/DEA datasets. Behavioral scientists have rarely studied actual retail purchases. This pilot study carefully weighed retail purchases by a variety of marijuana purchasers. During an ethnographic study of Blunts/marijuana in NYC, staff recruited active marijuana users from a variety of ethnicities, genders, SES backgrounds, and communities in NYC. Recruitment efforts included different neighborhoods and retail sales modes in public settings (streets, parks, stores, etc.) and from private locales (bars, apartments, dorms, offices, etc.). While initial access was occasionally challenging, rich ethnographic data delineates how a variety of marijuana users from different settings and SES backgrounds were recruited. A hundred marijuana users provided a recent marijuana purchase for the ethnographer to weigh, and provided additional information about the price paid, described the “retail unit,” the type of retail distributors purchased from, the perceived quality of the product, locale of the purchase, and the purchaser’s demographics. Experienced ethnographers provided a more objective assessment of marijuana quality. Surprisingly, marijuana users were eager to participate in this market research and to know how much their marijuana purchases weighed. Future research with larger samples of marijuana retail units is needed. Note: This Bardhi paper should precede the Sifaneck et al paper in Panel organizing.
