From the discovery of psychoactive substances in a techno scene to a safety use
The techno scene sets up an environment conducive to the use of psychoactive substances, especially synthetic drugs. From the discovery of these parties to a broader investment in the cultural universe, there is a range of consumption careers that depend on a complex set of factors. This study focused on the changing path of consumption in a professionalized population, sometimes in the techno scene, who have been consuming for 6 to 15 years. The data was analyzed through a content analysis. The results of this survey seek to describe specific consumption related to the environment (trite use, poly-consumption, sociability of use), as well as outlining possible careers of consumption based on three types of use (festive, recreational and doping), and analyzing how the mechanisms of control integrate these pathways to achieve a relatively controlled use. In a public health approach, these results allow consideration of possible avenues to raise awareness about the control of consumption in an environment strongly concerned by the use of synthetic drugs.
