Abstract

Scientific production in the field of “drug studies” includes numerous discourses, but maintains as its hegemonic reference the health sciences (psychiatry, pharmacology and epidemiology), operating under the umbrella and leadership of the World Health Organization (WHO). In Brazil, the production of knowledge about the illicit use of psychoactive substances has been almost entirely directed towards studies of the “problematic user”, found in clinics and health services.
