Question

Which of the following scenarios would be least likely to produce future problem drug usage?
a. Jack lives at home with his parents and attends college. He went to a fraternity party and tried cocaine for
the first time. The following day he felt a little tired, but was relatively fine and functional.
b. Jill is a single mom who works full time and attends school part time. She is pretty content with life. She was introduced to cocaine at a party around the same time as her term paper was due, and had the thought that
this drug may help her accomplish her writing.
c. Tom is recently divorced, lives alone, and has no children. Upon hearing news that he was laid off from his
job, he was so stressed that he decided to go to a party to blow off some steam where he was introduced to
cocaine; he was surprised at how happy the drug made him feel.
d. b & c are equally as likely

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer - A

Jill and Tom are more likely to have drug problems, as in their cases the drug has helped them or given pleasure, and this could make them dependent on it in the future. Jack did not feel the pleasure nor had any reinforcement through the drug and is the least likely to have any drug troubles.
