Abstract
Despite an increasing volume of research on marijuana during the past decade, the treatment literature on adult, chronic abusers of marijuana remains limited. The primary focus of research and theory in both the clinical and psychosocial literature has largely been on adolescent and young adult marijuana use, reflecting a general emphasis on prevention. In a monograph entitled Treating the Marijuana Dependent Person [3], published by the American Council of Marijuana, only one out of 15 papers was concerned with treatment of an adult population.
