Résumé :
Since the adoption of the 1970 law establishing a prohibition regime on drugs in France, and notably punishing their use, things have changed a lot. The AIDS epidemic in particular has encouraged an approach to social problems in terms of harm reduction. This approach is gradually being extended and is taking various forms (testing, low-risk consumption rooms, user expertise, etc.). As a society without drugs and addiction seems illusory, it seems appropriate to direct regulatory tools towards limiting risks rather than penalizing users.
