title: A sociological property of drugs: acceptance of users of alcohol and other drugs among university undergraduates.
abstract: An analysis of student social acceptance of drug users reveals attitudes similar to those held by society at large. Student users of the drugs most established in the general society--alcohol and nicotine--were more accepted by their peers than were users of other drugs. Implications for prevention are discussed.
