Rituals associated with Marijuana Smoking
 PAVLIŇÁKOVÁ, Lenka
As the popularity of cannabis in the Czech Republic is increasing, the need to gather more information about its users is also growing. So I decided to write a bachelor thesis about the phenomenon of marijuana use. The theoretical part is focused on the cannabis plant. The taxonomy and description of the plant is presented here as well as the active substances it contains. I also pointed out various ways of use of cannabis and symptoms of intoxication. Then the thesis focuses on the concept of ritual, specifically its definition, qualifications and functions. Everything is linked with cannabis use in history. The last two chapters deal with the ritual use of cannabis during time. While in history marijuana was only a matter of some classes of people (jazz musicians, hippies), today a large number of people regardless their social status or age smoke marijuana. The qualitative survey was used as a research method, which was conducted through narrative interviews accompanied by observation. Interviews were conducted with regular cannabis users and their aim was to identify the rituals associated with its use. The results were processed using techniques for creating clusters which constituted a total of five areas that meet the aspects of ritual behavior. These areas relate to first experiment with marijuana, marijuana preparations for use, number of people present during intoxication and the common places and time of use. All results of this thesis should serve the general public to understand better the issue of cannabis use.
