FRAMING DRUG USE: BODIES, SPACE, ECONOMY AND CRIME | PALGRAVE | Published : 2015

Abstract

We need to be more humble in our appreciation of drug use. Drug use is so important, so central to our existence, we should show more caution in our deliberations and we should show more care in appreciating our capacity to know what we are dealing with. If drug use connects us to the pharmakon, the art hidden in the depths of our souls, then a pharmacoanalysis should likewise respect the intensity and extensity of the object of analysis.
