A twin study of early cannabis use and subsequent use and abuse/dependence of other illicit drugs.

Psychological medicine - 1 Oct 2004

Agrawal Arpana, Neale Michael C, Prescott Carol A, Kendler Kenneth S

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Cannabis use is strongly associated with the use and abuse/dependence of other illicit drugs. Gateway and common liabilities models have been employed to explain this relationship. We sought to examine this association using a combination of the discordant twin design and modeling methods. METHOD: We assess the relationship between early cannabis use and the subsequent use and abuse/ dependence of...
