Hypothesis

There will be an association between drugs and trance(T), rather than possession/trance (PT) (20).

Note

"Groups practicing PT activities are more likely to have a predominantly female membership; where men take on a variety of cult offices, the actors engaging in PT activities are more likely to be women. In cults centering about T, on the other hand, men appear to predominate"(20).
