Abstract:

A sample of 4564 self-admitted cannabis users was compared with a sample of airmen who had no known record of drug abuse. This study indicates that there is a very strong likelihood for cannabis users to use other drugs. There are relationships between cannabis abuse and geographic area of enlistment, religious preference, aptitude scores, race, educational level, and age at enlistment. Cannabis abuse is also related to the likelihood of getting an undesirable discharge, to Airman Performance Report, and to promotion rate. Author
