Summary
The investigators are conducting a Stage 1 pilot feasibility study at McLean Hospital to
develop and refine a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) intervention. The investigators aim
to develop a feasible 10-week integrated CBT intervention for the treatment of concurrent
marijuana dependence and nicotine dependence. The investigators hypothesize that the CBT
intervention, in conjunction with Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) in the form of a
transdermal nicotine patch, will reduce the use of marijuana and nicotine.
