Abstract
Youthful multiple drug users and abusers were interviewed to ascertain their methods of self-administration of street drugs. Stereotypes associating a particular drug with a particular method of self-administration are of dubious value. They do not reflect the diversity of methods commonly employed by users. Both drug substance and method of administration have a marked influence on users' judgments of the danger of various drug experiences.
