Chapter Chapter 5 in Recreational Drug Consumption, 2013, pp 73-97 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Recreational drugs are habit-forming substances and are therefore often consumed in a consumption bundle. For instance, the probability of using marijuana in the general Australian population is 13 %. However, in a subpopulation of tobacco smokers, nearly 32 % consume marijuana, and among those who consume hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin and amphetamines, nearly 96 % use marijuana.
