Marijuana Use by Heroin Abusers as a Factor in Program Retention
Ellner, Melvyn
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 45, 4, 709, Aug 77

Marijuana was used by the retained subjects as a heroin substitute and those who used marijuana were more apt to remain in the treatment program. (Author)
