Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Key findings: * Although some consider experimenting with marijuana normal behavior for adolescents, those adolescents who abstain are not maladjusted as others have reported. * Young abstainers do better than experimenters into young adulthood. * Even strict abstainers youth who avoid all drugs fare well in life. * Solitary substance use is not uncommon among youth. * Young solitary users are an overlooked at-risk group who face a wide range of psychosocial and behavioral difficulties as teens and young adults.
