Philosophie pratique de la drogue
Patrick Pharo - Collection Passages
Résumé
--
How do people become addicted to drugs and other psycho-active substances? How do they try to free themselves of the addiction? Is public anti-drug policy effective? These questions are treated in this book, starting out from users' testimonies gathered in Paris and New York. First-hand witnesses of the individual, social and neuropsychic conditions under which people enter into a path leading to addiction, former drug users proclaim their freedom to consume dangerous substances for their own well-being, while giving an uncompromising description of the resulting personal damage. So the ethic of drugs is replaced by an ethic of a 'way out', which they try to guarantee with new habits and new engagements. The practical philosophy of drugs that emerges from these testimonies is libertarian at an individual level, but collectively responsible, especially in terms of prevention, limiting the damage done and assisting the users. This attitude requires that we reconsider public policies of repression, mostly powerless in the face of the social phenomenon of addiction which has been in constant increase since the development of a market society.
