Résumé :
The psychoactive substances of the future and responses to them are inherited from the past. The future is marked by greater consumerism and individualism and a more hedonistic culture, with rising consumption of drugs and alcohol, or by greater puritanism in society. Both trends are visible and one may counterbalance the other. The new emerging drugs are considered to be problematic and addictive. These substances, such as morphine and cocaine, are often uncritically welcomed and are used as cures for addiction or other medical conditions. These new problem drugs are likely to emerge through pharmaceutical innovation. Drug effects are highly dependent on individual circumstances and expectations. The absence of concern about drug effects can now be termed as addiction. It is important to retain substances seen as problematic or addictive in the future within a normal market rather than a black market model, which is much more difficult to regulate.
