Increased drinking in a trial of treatments for marijuana dependence: Substance substitution
Drug and Alcohol Dependence, 09/22/09

Kadden RM et al. – Drinking increases were not related to treatment condition nor to change in marijuana use, but were related to baseline drinking: those with less baseline drinking tended to increase their drinking during treatment and those with more baseline drinking reported less drinking during treatment. Thereafter, drinking levels remained fairly stable throughout the follow–up year. The results are most likely reflective of a regression to the mean effect, and indicate that use of alcohol and marijuana are independent of one another.
