Drug culture refers to the social practices, beliefs, and behaviors surrounding the use of illegal or controlled substances. It encompasses various aspects, including the types of drugs used, the communities that form around them, and the rituals associated with their consumption. Drug culture can be influenced by factors such as music, art, and fashion, often reflecting the values and attitudes of specific groups. This culture can also lead to significant social issues, including addiction, crime, and health problems. Various movements, such as the counterculture of the 1960s, have shaped perceptions of drug use, while ongoing debates about drug legalization and harm reduction continue to influence public policy and societal attitudes.
