Howard Becker’s Becoming a Marijuana User provides readers more than the “right” way to smoke marijuana. He addressed these concepts by moving away from the psychological perspectives while exploring the activity’s sociological theories. Moreover, he figured out significant patterns or behaviors that look into a user’s lense, making marijuana an enjoyable and pleasurable experience. Becker (1953, p.68) sought the sequences of a user’s changing attitude as they experience pleasure with marijuana. To denote these sequences, the author interviewed fifty marijuana users from different social backgrounds. Nonetheless, it only covers a significant part of the history of the use of marijuana. His research led to social discovery and exploration of “three processes” towards gaining the “real effects” of marijuana use.
