Drug Abuse (NIDA) funded research project on drug information and
online drug-related communities. The editors of this pivotal text,
Edward Murguia, Ann Lessem, and Melissa Tackett-Gibson, elevate the
debate about drug use and the Internet from a polemic discourse to
social scientific investigation. The essays confront issues related
to the study of drug communication online, including the causal
factors of abuse as discussed in online forums, the relationship
between music and drug use in virtual communities, and the ways in
which individuals assess the accuracy of online drug information.
This book highlights the variety of ways to examine drug use as a
social problem and presents several theoretical perspectives
valuable to online research. Real Drugs in a Virtual World is an
enlightening and thought provoking read that will appeal to
sociology students and those interested in virtual communities.
