Abstract
Relationships between age at initial marijuana use and selected behavioral measures representing education, arrests, employment, alcohol use and other drug use were examined for a sample of 370 male veterans. Younger age at marijuana use was associated with less education, more arrests and more other drug use prior to entering the service. A factor analysis of the correlates of age at initial marijuana use suggested 3 factors of delinquent activities: drug use, school delinquency and other propensities for delinquency.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
