Jugend, Musik und Drogen

New edition with unchanged content. The desire to try out drugs is still very much alive among young people. The conditions for consumption are as varied as complex. The social environment is usually responsible for the first drug experiences, especially the circle of friends, where drugs become a topic alongside lifestyle, sexual experiences and parties. Although music in itself is certainly not the decisive factor in resorting to drugs, it is to a large extent a part of the environment of young people, who pay close attention to bands and their behaviour and emulate their idols. What role do drugs play in the music scene of adolescents? Can music itself become a drug? And how do music and drugs influence each other? The author Susanne Brunner gives introductory basic information on the subject of drugs, their history and social development.
