Second, if so, does that effect apply to the abuse of other illicit substances, as defined by the DSM-IV, or only to the use of such substances? Finally, does any causal effect of teen marijuana use survive beyond adolescence, or is it a short-term effect that subsides as adolescents transition to adulthood? Our results indicate a moderate relation between early teen marijuana use and young adult abuse of other illicit substances; however, this association fades from statistical significance with adjustments for stress and life-course variables. Likewise, our findings show that any causal influence of teen marijuana use on other illicit substance use is contingent upon employment status and is short-term, subsiding entirely by the age of 21. In light of these findings, we urge U.S. drug control policymakers to consider stress and life-course approaches in their pursuit of solutions to the \u201cdrug problem.\u201d<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0022146510378238","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,4]],"date-time":"2010-10-04T11:33:25Z","timestamp":1286192005000},"page":"244-259","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["A Life-course Perspective on the \u201cGateway Hypothesis\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Karen","family":"Van Gundy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New Hampshire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cesar J.","family":"Rebellon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of New Hampshire"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0022146510378238","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1745-9125.1992.tb01093.x"},{"key":"bibr2-0022146510378238","first-page":"101","volume-title":"Developmental Theories of Crime and Delinquency","author":"Agnew Robert","year":"1997"},{"key":"bibr3-0022146510378238","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1745-9125.1992.tb01113.x"},{"key":"bibr4-0022146510378238","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291704002545"},{"key":"bibr5-0022146510378238","volume-title":"Multiple Regression: Testing and Interpreting Interactions","author":"Aiken L.
