Inner-city relationships face numerous challenges including illegal drug use and its consequences. The nature of this challenge, however, has changed dramatically with a shift from the crack subculture of the 1980s and early 1990s to the subsequent marijuana/blunts subculture. This study presents data concerning 95 inner-city relationships where illegal drug use was present from people who were interviewed in 2004-2006 and reinterviewed in 2008. Hard drug use was still problematic in the 2000s even with the passing of the crack epidemic and its associated behavioral norms. Hard drug (primarily crack) users reported drug use was a problem, reported conflict over drugs, reported higher levels of conflict than others and were the most likely to have broken up with their partner. On the other hand, the experiences and subcultural norms associated with marijuana use appeared to be much less detrimental to relationship harmony. Subjects who used marijuana but not hard drugs reported much less relationship conflict. Indeed, many reported that they enjoyed using marijuana with their partner. These subcultural insights further the understanding that young adults have constructed a much more socially productive subculture regarding marijuana use than their predecessors had constructed around use of crack.
城市内的人际关系面临着许多挑战，包括吸毒及其后果。然而，这种挑战的性质已经发生了巨大的变化，从 20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代初的快克亚文化转变为随后的大麻/ blunt 亚文化。本研究提供了 2004-2006 年接受采访并于 2008 年重新采访的 95 个城市内人际关系的数据，这些关系中都存在非法吸毒的情况。即使快克流行及其相关行为规范已经过去，在 21 世纪，滥用硬毒品仍然是一个问题。硬毒品（主要是快克）使用者报告说吸毒是一个问题，报告了因毒品产生的冲突，报告的冲突水平高于其他人，并且最有可能与他们的伴侣分手。另一方面，与大麻使用相关的经验和亚文化规范似乎对关系和谐的危害要小得多。使用大麻但不使用硬毒品的受试者报告的关系冲突要少得多。事实上，许多人报告说他们喜欢和伴侣一起使用大麻。这些亚文化的见解进一步表明，年轻人在大麻使用方面构建了一个比他们的前辈在使用快克方面构建的更具社会生产力的亚文化。
