Résumé : | In the mid-1990s, a team of UK researchers developed a theoretical framework in which they argued that the use of some illicit drugs - specifically cannabis, nitrates and amphetamines, and equivocally ecstasy - had become "normalised". The proponents of this thesis argued that the recreational use of these drugs had become an unremarkable feature of life for some young people in their pursuit of leisure and pleasure. They also argued that the use of these drugs had become socially and culturally accepted by many members of the non-drug using population and was increasingly culturally embedded in wider society (Measham, Newcombe, & Parker, 1994; Parker, Aldridge, & Measham, 1995,1998).
