marihuana use and its effects
BECOMING A MULTIDRUG USER
The more one smokes marihuana, the more involved his interpersonal relationships are
likely to become with his peers who share the experience with him. As he spends more time
with this group, he begins to sever his contacts with conventional individuals and
conventional routines. He may eventually view himself as a drug user and be willing to
experiment with other drugs which are approved by his peer group. Only ;a small portion of
the marihuana users who reach this stage are likely to become persistent, frequent users
of these other drugs. The majority appear to experiment only.
