Nixon adviser says 4.5 percent GI heroin use in Vietnam
Dr. Jerome Jaffe told President Nixon that returning U.S. service members show a 4.5 percent heroin use rate, far below initial estimates. Urine tests of 22 000 GIs since the program began found about 1 000 positives, with some habitual users after follow up. The testing will expand to periodically check all servicemen, and those using drugs go through seven days of de-toxification before longer treatment in the U.S.
