Abstract
I have presented data to illustrate and evaluate the use of animal experiments on behavior maintained by drug injection as an animal model of human drug abuse. I believe, the data justify the cautious application of such an animal model for predicting the abuse potential of a new drug, for evaluating new forms of treatment, and finally, for investigating biological and environmental variables controlling drug taking behavior. However, there are a variety of assumptions whenever we extrapolate conclusions from laboratory studies to man in his natural environment.
