Sociological Approach to Drugs as Youth Risk: From the Traditional Image to the Digital Phenomenon
Fairouz Latreche
Pages: 117-125
Abstract
This study rigorously investigates both traditional and digital drug modalities, assessing which is perceived as more perilous among the youth. It delves into the motivations for initiating drug use in both forms and elucidates the resultant symptoms. Employing a descriptive methodology, the research utilized interviews for data gathering and a case study approach for detailed analysis. The findings reveal that both traditional and digital drugs precipitate a state of euphoria, traditional drugs through various hallucinogenic substances, and digital drugs through perilous electronic euphoria induced by magnetic and musical vibrations accessed via advanced digital networks. Commonalities in symptoms and initiation reasons were observed, with neither form being negligible. Key initiation factors span psychological, educational, social, and economic domains, while prevalent symptoms include insomnia, addiction, euphoria, isolation, and conspicuous physical disorders such as red eyes.
