Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude comparative entre l'abus de drogues par les adolescents nord-américains considéré comme pathologique et l'utilisation rituelle des hallucinogènes dans un but de socialisation religieuse et pédagogique dans les sociétés tribales (aborigènes australiens, indiens du Sud californien, africains).
ENGLISH :
An analysis is made of adolescent hallucinogenic plant ingestion during initiation rituals among Australian Aboriginal males, Tshogana Tsonga females and among Chumash youth of Southern California. This use pattern contrats with abusive patterns of drug abuse found among American adolescents. Findings indicate the existence of managed altered states of consciousness in the tribal societies studied, where plant hallucinogens are given by elders to youth as part of an intensive, short-term socialization for religious and pedagogical purposes. The use of hypersuggestibility as a cultural technique to "normalize" youth in the tribal societies under study is analyzed in contrast to the role of pathology of drug ingestion patterns among American adolescents.
