Abstract
El objetivo del presente estudio fue explorar las representaciones sociales del consumo de
marihuana en universitarios de Lima Metropolitana, esto a través de sus tres dimensiones
información, actitudes y campo representacional. Para ello, se contó con la participación de 16
estudiantes consumidores de marihuana, quienes oscilaban entre los 19 y 26 años de edad. Se
empleó una entrevista semi estructura. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que los universitarios
cuentan con conocimientos poco precisos sobre el consumo de marihuana. Ello lo obtuvieron
por medio de tres fuentes de información, tales como el entorno social, medio virtual y de su
propia experiencia. Asimismo, señalaron conocer tres formas de consumo, como el cigarro, las
pipas y los comestibles principalmente. Por otro lado, presentan una valoración positiva sobre
el consumo de marihuana y que este puede estar influenciado por distintos elementos como la
accesibilidad, el factor económico y el entorno social, los cuales son aspectos que facilitan o
dificultan el consumo. Además, representan al consumo de marihuana como un lugar físico
compartiendo con personas y también, le atribuyen distintos significados, tales como un
espacio personal, social, recreativo y un medio de relajación. Por último, señalaron que la
consumen principalmente por los efectos de la marihuana, por querer integrarse a un grupo y
por evitar la realidad. Por último, señalaron más los efectos positivos que los perjuicios.

They obtained this through three sources of information, such as the social environment, virtual media and their own experience. They also reported knowing three forms of consumption, such as cigarettes, pipes and edibles mainly. Besides, they present a positive assessment about the marijuana consumption and this may be influenced by different elements such as accessibility, the economic factor and the social environment, which are aspects that facilitate or hinder consumption. In addition, they represent the consumption of marijuana as a physical place sharing with people and also attribute different meanings, such as a personal, social, recreational space and a way of relaxation. On the other hand, they pointed out that they consume it mainly because of the effects of marijuana, because they want to join a group and because they avoid reality. Finally, they noted more positive effects than harms.
