This open access book explores how young people engage with
chemical substances in their everyday lives. It builds upon and
supplements a large body of literature on young people's use of
drugs and alcohol to highlight the subjectivities and socialities
that chemical use enables across diverse socio-cultural settings,
illustrating how young people seek to avoid harm, while harnessing
the beneficial effects of chemical use. The book is based on
multi-sited anthropological research in Southeast Asia, Europe and
the US, and presents insights from collaborative and contrasting
analysis. Hardon brings new perspectives to debates across drug
policy studies, pharmaceutical cultures and regulation, science and
technology studies, and youth and precarity in post-industrial
societies.
