Ruth, you might try the following references:

|
The last three by Block and colleagues may be the best *chronic* studies
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
Also, given that you are neighbors, you might want to get in touch with
|
|
the folks at UNTHSC (used to be TCOM) Department of Pharmacology in Fort
|
|
Worth. They have a significant presence in Substance Abuse Research and
|
|
are heading up the Substance Abuse Insitute of North Texas (SAINT).

Hope this helps, Jonathan
