Résumé :
Users engaged in identity or insecurity processes have until recently constituted the bulk of studies on drug use because they are, due to the illegality of their practice and its possible link to "risky" lifestyles, associated with public health or public order problems. These populations are therefore made visible by the "unnatural" behavior they adopt, as well as by the repression they are subjected to or the care they receive.
The use of illicit psychotropic substances by people integrated into a professional environment is a relatively recent field of research in France. The broadest definition given of this population is as follows: "Users who do not frequent any health or social care facilities or who are not identified by law enforcement". It therefore does not include the notion of work and insists on the fact that these users are not registered and do not have a statistical existence. Working dmg users do not define themselves or claim to be part of an "environment" or "subculture". Nothing, a priori, groups them together, in terms of neither age, nor the type of activity carried out, nor the type of leisure activities practiced. This "population" of users is therefore above all a sociological construct, defined by researchers, in order to distinguish it from the more "marginal" categories represented by users of illicit substances described so far by the human sciences.
