Abstract(s)

O problema do consumo de substâncias é extremamente complexo, e essa complexidade é reflectida pelas variadas configurações que o fenómeno foi desenhando. Actualmente, a problemática apresenta-se numa configuração que resulta, também, do seu percurso histórico. O presente artigo procurou fazer uma abordagem às diversas percepções e usos das drogas e, sobretudo, à sua história. O que se pretendeu foi evidenciar como o consumo de substâncias foi obedecendo a diferentes mecanismos e perseguindo díspares fins, dependendo do contexto sócio-cultural.
