Drug culture

Drug culture refers to the shared practices, norms, and values surrounding the use of substances within specific social groups. It includes attitudes toward drug consumption, methods of use, social settings, and the symbols or language associated with it. This culture can influence individuals’ behaviors and perceptions about drugs, shaping trends, peer interactions, and even issues related to legality and health. Understanding drug culture helps in addressing public health, education, and policy challenges by recognizing how social dynamics and norms impact substance use.
