Abstract
Substances known as &dquo;drugs&dquo; are appreciated, feared, moral- ized about, legislated against, sought and avoided as agents that can be expected to produce in their users an alteration of normal mental or physical processes. In neither medical nor non-medical domains are drugs known and used as passive or inert substances. On the contrary, they are known and used as active substances that &dquo;do something&dquo; to their users. The &dquo;something&dquo; can be called a drug’s effects. While there is much literature describing and accounting for the effects of a variety of drugs, the great bulk of it does so from the point of view of those interested in effects in an academic way, that is, pharmacologists and other scientists.’ 1 That point of view is not presented here. Rather, the perspec-tive displayed is that of those who have an eminently practical interest in drug effects.
Notes
The journal was originally called "Urban life and culture"
