Summary One of the major reasons why we fail to combat the presort drug dependencies is because we try to simply deal with the dependency as such. We do not take into consideration that there are a variety of addictions which should be treated in different ways according to their specific characters. In an effort to make these matters understandable, one can point to the two major types of dependency, that of marijuana and that of heroin. Suck a basic differentiation however, cannot stop simply after establishing this fact. To be really factual and concrete one must go farther and, distinguish specific reaction types of such major drugs. In this way we have to distinguish three types of marijuana and four types of heroin dependencies. The purpose of this study is to present in detail and with exemplifictions the three kinds of marijuana dependencies and to offer certain basic directions for the specific therapy which ought to be applied to them.
