大學生對於大麻施用影響與合法化態度探討
Exploing the Impact of Cannabis Use and Attitudes towards Legalization among College Students
摘要
隨著大麻的功效與合法化議題逐漸在國際間受到矚目，台灣近年來亦不斷有民眾與團體戮力於合法化及正視大麻醫療功效等倡議。惟政府仍保持禁絕的態度，顯與逐漸熱議的趨勢形成明顯對比。然研究和討論上卻往往忽略被視為施用可能性與接受度最高的大學生群體之真實看法與感受。據此，本研究選取不同領域之8名大學生進行焦點團體座談，藉由多元視角的觀點來瞭解其想法及態度。研究發現政府政策與宣示並無法說服大學生；而大學生多不認為施用大麻後的負面影響是嚴重危害，且對於施用大麻合法化抱持正面支持的態度，但仍將因忌憚刑責與危害而不會嘗試施用。因此建議政府應對大麻法規的立場有更細緻的說明，並且提出更有說服力的實證證據。其次在教育宣導上應完整呈現施用的利弊得失。更重要的是建立與群眾互動交流的溝通管道，藉由完整良善的對話以減少彼此的對立摩擦。

As the benefits of cannabis and the issue of legalization gain increasing attention internationally, Taiwan has also seen a growing number of individuals and groups advocating for legalization and recognizing the medical benefits of cannabis. However, the government maintains a strict prohibition stance, which starkly contrasts with the emerging trend of discussions and debates. Unfortunately, the views and experiences of college students, who are often considered the group with the highest likelihood of cannabis use and acceptance, are frequently overlooked in research and discussions. Therefore, this study selected eight college students from various fields to participate in focused group discussions. The research findings revealed that government policies and declarations were unable to persuade college students. Many of them did not perceive the negative impacts of cannabis use as severe harm, and they expressed positive support for the legalization of cannabis use. However, due to concerns about legal consequences and potential risks, they refrained from experimenting with cannabis use. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the government should provide a more nuanced and evidence-based explanation of its stance on cannabis legalization. Additionally, a comprehensive presentation of the pros and cons of cannabis use should be incorporated into educational campaigns. Moreover, it is crucial to establish communication channels to engage with the public and promote constructive dialogue on this issue.
