Early onset cannabis use and progression to other drug use in a sample of Dutch twins.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 2006

Lynskey Michael T, Vink Jacqueline M, Boomsma Dorret I

Abstract excerpt

One possible explanation of the commonly reported associations between early onset cannabis use and elevated risks of other illicit drug use is that early onset cannabis use increases access and availability to other drugs. It was this argument that in part motivated policy changes in the Netherlands that led to the de facto legalization of cannabis there. This study examines, using a co-twin control design,...
