pt. 1. Knowledge : science, medicine, and discourses on drugs -- pt. 2. Consumption : cultures of drug use -- pt. 3. Policy or politics? The cultural dynamics of public responses.
Drugs and Culture presents alternative perspectives on psychoactive drugs, highlighting the socio-cultural features of drug use and regulation in modern societies. It examines the cultural dimensions of drugs and their regulation, with special attention to questions of how consumption of specific psychoactive substances becomes associated with particular social groups; the social dynamics involved in our coming to think of these phenomena as we do; and the factors that determine the political and policy responses to drug use.
