Abstract

Thirty-nine male and female adult Jewish and Arab street drug users from Jerusalem, currently in treatment, were interviewed to explore various factors associated with their own initiation into drug use and their initiation of others. These factors included the source and context of initial drug use, first drug used, physical and psychological drug reactions, and the types of gains derived from turning others on. The most significant findings from this ministudy are that the majority of drug users did not initiate anyone else into drug use, and that those who did reported a variety of nonmonetary gains.
