The more the deviation from a sex-and-grade, self-concept score norm (as indexed on a pair-comparisons, adjectival inventory), the greater the incidence of reported drug use. This assertion applies (a) to both sexes (teen-agers) for beer and wine, cigarettes, hard liquor, and marijuana, and (b) to males alone for speed and LSD.
