This exploratory mixed-methods study investigates how users discuss and disclose marijuana and opioid use on Reddit. Using hermeneutic content analysis, the researchers identified seven comment categories: disclosure, instruction and advice, culture, community norms, moralizing, legality, and banter. While levels of disclosure were similar across subreddits, discussions about opioids featured more instruction and advice, whereas marijuana discussions included more banter. The study highlights the role of banter in facilitating disclosure and suggests that both elements are connected to information-seeking behaviors, informing future public health interventions targeting drug use.
