Abstract
“It has been suggested that addiction in some is but a temporary maturation problem, as in certain delinquent behaviour. Cursory reviews of United States prison statistics revealed the age of the majority of addicts to be in the 3rd or 4th decades. Observers in Iran and Egypt are under the impression that not all young addicts become old addicts. Many of these implications titillate the imagination as to the possibility that drug addiction would be ‘curable’ if only better information were available.” World Health Organization, Technical Reports Series No. 131, p. 19.
