Although several background factors have a relatively linear effect
on the phenomenon of experiencing space as an auditory space,
total marijuana use has a curvilinear effect. Moderate Total users
have Very Strongly/Maximum indicated as the minimal level almost
as frequently as Fairly/Strongly, while the Light and Heavy Total
users peak sharply at Fairly/Strongly.
Overall, auditory effects are infrequently affected by background
factors.
