Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Description du passage des distributeurs d'origine caraïbienne de la marijuana à la cocaïne, avec des conséquences économiques et sociales néfastes. Le marché du crack pose des problèmes supplémentaires pour les trafiquants, car les usagers revendeurs deviennent vite peu fiables, incapables, contrairement aux anciens consommateurs de marijuana, de maîtriser leur consommation.
ENGLISH :
Shortages in the supply of marijuana, which became acute aroung 1981, caused Rastafari marijuana distributors very relucantly do disregard religious injunctions against the use of any psychoactive substance except marijuana, and to experiment with the use and distribution of cocaine hydrochloride powder for intranasal administration and, later, for smoking (freebase and crack). This experimentation proved ruinous, and many were retired ignominiously from drug distribution. In the crack era they have been succeeded by completely new social, cultural and economic arrangements. (Author's abstract)
