Weekly Marijuana Use as a Risk Factor for Initial Cocaine Use: Results from a Six-Wave National Survey.

Miller, Todd Q.; Volk, Robert J.

Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v5 n4 p55-78 1996

Uses longitudinal national survey data to examine relationships between cocaine and marijuana use. Results show that weekly marijuana users were over 10 times more likely to initiate cocaine use within the next year. Also, many psychosocial predictors are not predictive of initial cocaine use after controlling for prior weekly marijuana use. (RJM)
