Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to examine hallucinogen use using multiple criminological theories. The study uses self-control theory, social learning theory, and problem behavior theory to understand hallucinogen use. Using over 2,000 nationally representative observations from the 2011 Monitoring the Future survey, the results show support for self-control theory, social learning theory, and problem behavior theory. We conclude that all three of these theories may be necessary to better understand this behavior.
