Abstrakt: This presentation will explore the changing conduct norms of a new marijuana using subculture: the Hip Hop Blunt Subculture. We will first discuss the emergence of this new subculture and how it distinguishes itself from previous marijuana using subcultures. Based on the analysis of qualitative data from direct ethnographic observations and open-ended depth interviews with 120 marijuana users in New York City, this paper will then describe some the new conduct norms followed by members of the Blunt subculture. Conduct norms regarding sharing, use/non-use, and the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, and their relationship to market and policy factors will be discussed and explored.
