Résumé :
On the basis of data derived from a major research project conducted by the National Center for Social and Criminological Research in Cairo on the use of cannabis in Egypt and several minor studies dealing with the same subject, this paper outlines traditional and current patterns of hashish consumption in Egypt. General observations and impressions are presented where no scientifically tested data are as yet available. Along with the presentation of a particular pattern, the paper touches upon possible similarities or dissimilarities to other patterns of cannabis use, particularly in highly industrialized societies. The main assumption is that in the case of drug consumption, we are faced with a broad diversification stemming not only from the type of the drug but from the varying cultural context of the phenomenon.
