Document Summary
The use of drugs in society remains a common occurrence, as it has survived many transformations throughout history. These changes can be observed through the reasons of initial use, the substances abused, the administration techniques, and the groups that became dependent on them. One of the main factors contributing to the origin of such individuals searching for meaning is from the emergence of the free market society. This destroyed mans relationships with his culture, and left many people with nothing, eventually leading to addiction. To fully understand the concept of drug use as a means to exert control and exercise self determination, one must understand the origins of this occurrence, as it demonstrates the feelings of hopelessness and longing felt by those affected. The emergence of a free market society meant that exchange of labour, land, clan loyalties, village responsibilities, family obligations, and values had to be overpowered (alexander, 2001, p. 9).
