Résumé :
This study provides an overview of the socially-integrated use of illicit drugs in established social groups, something not very investigated until now in Germany. The main focus is on the process of interaction between formal (law and social-medical control system) and informal (drug use messages of the peer group). During the pilot study 34 socially integrated users of various illicit drugs, recruited via the snow ball sampling technique, were interviewed. The observations and findings made so far could be summarised in form of two working hypothesis: - In the self perception drug use is obviously perceived as being mainly regulated by an internal locus of control. - Even in the cases of consumption of illicit drugs in spite of the existing drug laws, the illicit status of certain substances seems to be of regulative impact on drug using behaviour; There seems to be informal control mechanisms associated with the legal status of the substances which work under the threshold of the drug laws' claim of General- deterrence.
