Virtuous drug use in the neoliberal age
Background Agency over personal happiness has become established as a normative discourse within the self-interested agendas of neoliberal individuals. Within this context, we argue that it is possible to frame drugtaking as “virtuous.”Methods We aim to: i) provide evidence that a neoliberal individualized presentation of drugtaking as “virtuous” is emerging; and ii) explore the processes by which such a framing is legitimated by society.Results …
Systemic Violence, Social Harms and Necropolitics
This study draws on theories of systemic violence (Ruggiero 2020; Žižek 2008), social harms (Canning and Tombs 2021; Hall et al. 2020; Pemberton 2016) and Mbembe’s (2019; 2003) necropolitics to highlight social harms experienced by women ‘on road’. Data originally generated for a consultation funded by Doctors of the World UK (Henceforth DOTW UK) to examine the self-perceptions of health needs by women engaged in street level sex work was reanaly…
Liminal spaces, seasonal faces
A greater understanding of the variety of Class-A drug markets in operation can challenge archetypes and discrimination in understanding drug market involvement, will allow the development of more nuanced policing and policy strategies, and contributes to the presentation of a fluidity of drug market structure that permeates beyond bottom level street markets or social supply
Gendering research on online illegal drug markets
This paper reviews and critiques research on online illegal drug markets, arguing that existing conceptualizations and methodological approaches have resulted in a very limited discussion of women and questions of gender. The first part lays out the stereotypes and unarticulated assumptions that enable questions about women and gender to be side-lined, as follows: (i) that online anonymity rules out knowing about gender in online drug markets; (i…
New drugs, new directions? Research priorities for new psychoactive substances and human enhancement drugs
Assessing the ‘added value’ of European policy on new psychoactive substances
Ungass 2016
This article is framed by the forthcoming United Nations General Assembly Special Session on drugs (UNGASS) debates on global drug policy. It explores European drug policy experiences to draw out important lessons and insights that could be applied to wider global drug policy regimes. European experiences with (i) diverse cannabis policies and (ii) longstanding attempts to harmonise or coordinate diverse national drug policies in general are exam…
Blurred Boundaries
This article examines particular features of the bottom level of the U.K. cannabis market and the overlap between supply–supplier and use–user within that market. An Internet survey was completed by 464 adult regular cannabis users residing in the United Kingdom. Results indicate that over a quarter of the sample had bought large amounts (9 ounces [252 g] or more) of cannabis at one time, a third had been involved in selling cannabis for profit a…
A critical evaluation of the European drug strategy
Insiders? The Experiences and Perspectives of Long-Term, Regular Cannabis Users
Much research on the use of illicit drugs begins with questions about lifetime use, intended to estimate the number of people who have ever used drugs (i.e., once or more) in their lifetime. By contrast the research described in this article describes the experience and perspective of “insiders” (as opposed to the “outsiders” of Becker's (1963) famous study): people who have used a class B drug, cannabis, throughout their lifetime. Interviews wer…
Drug Policy Harmonization and the European Union
Exploring the illegal drug issue in international context, this book looks at why harmonization has not already taken place at the European level. It considers the desirability and viability of harmon
