AbstractInjecting drug users may now be the largest group at risk for contracting HIV, mainly through the sharing of drug injection equipment (including lending, borrowing, and renting). This article presents the results of an ongoing ethnographic study into the drug-taking rituals of heroin addicts. A possible additional route of HIV contamination is presented, namely the ritual sharing of drugs through a practice termed“frontloading,”which is embedded in a broader pattern of the sharing of resources among addicts. It is hypothesized that in the Netherlands this practice may be responsible for a substantial proportion of HIV spread among injecting drug users.

摘要:

AbstractThe use of crack cocaine and its associations with high-risk sexual behavior in view of the AIDS epidemic is reported commonly for major East and West Coast urban centers. This article describes and analyzes ethnographic data on crack use in Dayton, Ohio, a small midwestern city of less than 200,000 people. The results of 15 tape-recorded interviews are employed to sketch the basic outlines of crack use among African Americans. A major focus is placed on analyzing the characteristics of the exchange of crack for sexual favors. High-risk behaviors for the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are explored.

摘要:

AbstractInterviews were conducted with a sample of jailed intravenous opioid users who were not in treatment at the time of their arrest and who were admitted to an in-jail methadone maintenance program. At release, subjects were to be referred to dedicated slots in participating community methadone programs. Virtually all subjects were daily injectors of heroin and cocaine. Although the majority of subjects had previous episodes of methadone maintenance, most reported anxieties about methadone, such as bone decalcification and possible overdosing. Women and subjects who shared needles were more likely to report fears about methadone. Only 52% of the subjects stated that they intended to report to a methadone program after their release and 45% did not expect to remain in treatment for more than one year. Subjects who stated that they were not afraid of methadone, frequently injected drugs, and rarely used crack were more likely to express intentions to enroll and remain in community methadone treatment. Ambivalence toward methadone treatment may be a result of unrealistic concerns about the side effects of methadone and personal heuristics regarding the nature of addiction and the efficacy of treatment.

摘要:

AbstractLegitimate human research with hallucinogenic drugs, although of great theoretical and practical interest, involves daunting regulatory hurdles that have discouraged investigators from attempting such work. Using the example of the author's own application for and receipt of federal permission to administer N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) to humans, this article reviews the application process, obstacles and their solutions, and the local and federal issues involved. Further human research with hallucinogens is possible if a persistent and collaborative effort is made with the relevant institutions that oversee the performance of this type of research.

摘要:

AbstractA comprehensive review is presented of the recreational and accidental ingestion of psychoactive mushroooms in Australia and New Zealand; 15 recognized species are considered from Australia and eight from New Zealand. Common epithets, potency levels, and methods of ingestion are discussed. Legal aspects involving the use of these psychoactive fungi are noted. In addition, medical and psychoactive effects of these mushrooms and treatment for psilocybian mushroom poisoning are described. Numerous case reports, with commentary, are also presented.
