TL;DR
Food intake was initially decreased, but often returned to predrug levels and was not related to level of drug intake, while responding was maintained by all these drugs but showed both day- to-day and hour-to-hour variability.

PsychopharmacologySelf-administration of psychoactive substances by the monkey
812 Citations1969G. A. Deneau, Tomoji Yanagita +1 more
In the present study monkeys developed psychological dependence on morphine, codeine, cocaine, d-amphetamine, pentobarbital, ethanol, and caffeine, and all of these drugs except caffeine produced psychotoxicity.

195 Citations1971Marvin C. Wilson, Masahiro Hitomi +1 more
Results indicate that either the subjects can compensate for large changes in unit dosage so that daily drug intake remains stable or that a direct effect of these compounds functions in limiting their self-administration.

Opiates as Reinforcing Stimuli
90 Citations1971James H. Woods, Charles R. Schuster
If intravenous morphine or other opiates are presented immediately following a response and the response frequency increases, then opiates can be said to serve as reinforcers.
Characteristics of Stimulant Drug Reinforcement
44 Citations1971Roy W. Pickens, Travis Thompson
In the present chapter, some of the characteristics of stimulant drugs as reinforcers are examined, with special consideration given to the behavior of the organism under such conditions and to factors influencing this behavior.
PsychopharmacologyAppetite suppression and central nervous system stimulation in the rhesus monkey
24 Citations1971A. H. Tang, J. D. Kirch
In the individually-caged, unrestrained rhesus monkeys, food consumption, spontaneous activities and night-time sleep were measured with a minimum of experimental manipulation and several derivatives of phenethylamine with parachloro substitution have weaker stimulant activities at anoretic doses when compared to the non-chlorinated parent compounds.
