Abstract
Personality, attitude, and hallucinogenic drug use data were obtained from 298 male and female adult members of labor unions. Multiple regression and canonical correlation analyses of drug use, personality, and attitude data revealed that: (1) the use of hallucinogens was significantly related to needs for novel or unconventional experiences and negative attitudes toward conventionally defined social values, and (2) marijuana use scores were more strongly associated with the set of predictor variables than were other drugs reported.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
