During the process of administering the survey, while the students turn in the survey I will choose 20 students from every high school. While they are turning in the survey, I will use systematic random sampling by selecting every nth student and ask them if they would be interesting in participating in my study. If they say “yes”, I will ask them in private if they smoke cannabis or if they don’t. This will determine which group they will be placed in for the study, this will also make sure that I will not get all nonsmokers or all smokers. If the adolescence agrees to the study and there is roughly enough smokers and nonsmokers, I will collect their basic information so that I can send them a follow-up in the mail. Using both a multistage cluster sampling and a systematic random sampling will help keep bias out of choosing the students. These methods will provide a generalizable sample of New
