    Those are terribly constructed survey questions, they both lead the respondent by bias. You might want to run those by your stats teacher.

    they are looking for frequencies and/or correlations. ain't no thang.


    1. i don't know what that means
    2. yes

    But for a lot of people, they won't know what the first question is asking, they will then look it up, see the next question and may reply accordingly - thinking they've got some idea of what the OP wants to hear for their study. DEMAND CHARACTERISTICS

    1. No and I hope its not motivating to do it.
    2. Yes - Its legal here in your own home, within limits, and also medically. But getting behind a stoner in the grocery line is pretty funny!

    I didn't make the questions so I can't change them. Thanks for everyone that answered!

    Just think of La Llorona as a Bloody Mary type story if you don't know what that is.

    Interesting to see what the correlation between the two questions.

    Are you trying to show that if you smoke enough pot you will believe silly myths?

    #1...maybe. I live in the Southwest, much is possible.
    #2.. sure. Regulate it like alcohol, and let people grow their own like we can brew beer for personal use. Its pretty harmless and only a "gateway drug" for those who would have those tendancies with anything.

    mmmm is it okay to do your survey in a forum? i took stats a while ago but i remember there has to be certain guidelines to the population you survey and how you do the survey.

    but to answer.
    1. no
    2. yes

    eta to add i answered no to number 1 b/c i'm too high and lazy to look up what it is so i just assume i don't believe in it :laugh:

    1. Do you believe in the Mexican legend of La Llorona? I don't even know what that is. Abstain.

    2. Do you want marijuana to become legalized? No

    1. I don't know what that is, so I guess I'll answer no.
    2. Sure. I don't know what the big deal is anyway. People use worse. I just wish people would use things responsibly is all.
