Abstract
Adult concern with adolescent drug use is focused on the questions of motivation and consequences. We have organized the analysis in this book in terms of these questions, and in this chapter will be presenting data primarily from transcripts of the 71 subjects classified as light or heavy users (as defined in Table 1 in the previous chapter).
