| Abstract: | Abstract Marijuana/Cannabis is said to have the fastest-growing rate of use and is the most commonly used illegal drug worldwide. There is increasing research on the medical uses of the active ingredients cannabidiol (CBD) and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which are both found in cannabis plants. The aim of this study was to assess the factors influencing its use and the cost implications to the individual and society during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional design. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from 20th to 5th August 2021 and prepared by editing, coding, transcribing, and cleaning. The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel tool and SPSS version.26 and the results were presented in descriptive statistics such as tables, frequencies, percentages, and figures. Regression analysis was used to establish an association between the factors. Findings: A total of 218 volunteers were involved in this study. Males were 54.1% and females 45.9%. 50.5% of the respondents were within the 21-25 age group. The results showed age, gender, smoking status, anxiety disorders, other past year drug use, alcohol use disorders, and psychotic symptoms as some of the factors. In 40.5% of marijuana users, there was an increase in intake during the pandemic season resulting in a 61.8% incremental jump in high rolls. Conclusion: There was an increase in marijuana intake resulting in a 61.8% increase in high rolls during the COVID-19 season leading to a high economic cost. |
