abstract="This qualitative study explored post-secondary students' perceptions of cannabis use on students' health, academic pursuits, and social lives, and investigated how these issues have been impacted by the legalization of recreational cannabis. Participants: 20 undergraduate students at a small liberal arts university in Atlantic Canada participated in this study. <br><br>METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were used to learn more about student perceptions of cannabis. Interview transcripts were analyzed using general thematic analysis. <br><br>RESULTS: Students in this study report using cannabis in thoughtful ways, balancing various considerations in terms of health, social connections, and academics. They were aware that cannabis is not a risk-free drug and took some steps to manage risks. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Knowing why young adults believe they use cannabis is information for university professionals who want to develop effective harm reduction campaigns.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
