Résumé :
ENGLISH :
A cross-national study is presented which probes a wide range of drug research. Systematic comparisons of (actual) users of illegal drugs in different societies are rare. This is surprising because a comparison of drug users in countries with different political drug use strategies offers the possibility of a deeper insight into the connection between social conditions (drug-care system, police, justice, etc.) and drug-use patterns, and respectively the social and individual consequences of drug use. A Dutch-German comparison seemed suitable: we hear constantly that there are great differences in drug control systems between Germany and The Netherlands. Imagining this to be true, does this lead to different drug use patterns, risks and harm associated with drug usage ? The comparison focused on the open drug scenes of Amsterdam and Frankfurt am Main. This paper summarises the numerous observations and offers explanations for the astonishing main result: the phenomenon 'use of illicit drugs' seems not to differ considerably in the empirical field of this study although the drug policies in The Netherlands and Germany differ noticeably.
