Abstract
The present study reports into the effectiveness of an organized meditation program in controlling drug use among its members. Subjects were 230 young men and women from Canada. A ten-page self-report questionnaire *was used and only the data relating to drug use are presented here. It is seen that within 3 months of joining this group, 82% of cannabis users and 61% of psychedelic users stopped taking drugs. Very substantial reduction in use of alcohol and tobacco also took place. It has been hypothesized that the group meditation program, which possesses characteristics of a subculture rather than meditation practice per se, is responsible for this reduction in drug use.
