Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Une recherche dans la littérature scientifique brésilienne sur les psychotropes montre que la consommation de médicaments anticholinergiques est importante chez les étudiants et les enfants des rues. Parmi les produits détournés on cite le Datura.
ENGLISH:
To better evaluate the non-medical use of anticholinergic substances in Brazil, a review of the local literature was performed. Synthetic compounds such as triexyphenidyl (Artane), benactizine (Asmosterona), dicyclomine (Bentyl) as well as Datura sp. tea were reported as being used by first and second grade students and by street children of several Brazilian cities. In several cases the percentage of youngsters indulging in such use was higher than the percentage found for cocaïne, barbiturates, cough syrups and amphetamine-related drugs.
