Army heroin use in Vietnam disputed by new statistics
Editorial argues Army figures on heroin use among Vietnam GIs differ sharply from earlier estimates. A $400,000 study by Washington University reports 35 percent tried heroin and 20 percent became dependent, with only 3 percent treated. Officials cite tobacco mixing and urine test limits to explain discrepancies. The Pentagon says 2,000 to 3,000 drug dependent veterans exist, but the numbers remain inconsistent.
