Two Worlds of Drug Consumption in Late Modern Societies reports the
findings of an empirical study of drug users in London, Amsterdam,
Turin, Prague, Vienna and Warsaw, European cities representative of
a wide range of drug problems and public policies. The innovative
study reconceives the standard distinctions between 'hard-core' and
'recreational' drug users in terms of their social position. The
authors argue that this is closely related to consumption patterns
rather than drug choice, and reveals that 2 relatively homogenous
drug worlds exist within each of the study sites. This leads to the
development of diverging drug markets; a friendly market for the
integrated consumer, and a highly commercialized one for the
marginalized customer, where low quality goods are sold at a higher
price. These findings have significant implications for academics
and professionals working in health, psychology and urban studies.
