Method of use

The methods of use define the various practices making it possible to absorb a substance Psychotrope, generally with a voluntary aim of deterioration of the conscience.

The majority of these practices are intrinsically related to the history of the use of psychotropic by the man and are thus ancestral.

Ritualisation

The ritualisation of the use of psychotropic is a recurring phenomenon that it is in the primitive or modern companies.

When a substance is produced in a country, a state of relative balance settles between this substance and the users where it is integrated in a social Rituel, mystical or religious. This ritual installs a sociocultural Tolérance product accompanied by a tradition of the use of the conveying product of the regulations of use, the quantities to be used, the dangers relating to the use.

Even, the injection can be ritualized because of its preparation and of its realization, this ritualisation has a virtue Anxiolytique for the user.

The Indians Zuñi put powder of root of Datura inoxia in the eyes in order to see the night and of communier with the spirits of deaths.

Free bases: technique of preparation of the psychotropic substances in order to obtain and to consume them in their basic form.
Joint: practical aiming at constituting a artisanal Cigarette containing the psychotropic substance with or without Tobacco in order to inhale of them the vapors of Combustion.
Pipe with water or Narguilé: objects being used to smoke a psychotropic substance and whose principle theoretically aims at reducing the harmful effects of smoke.

Sniff

It is a practice aiming at inhaling the substance directly in the case of either vapor S of Solvant S volatile (standard Poppers) or of the Poudre via a hollow tube ( straw ) inserted in the nostril.

The practice aiming at snuffing is a practice going back at least to 1.800 years before our era as testify some a shelf to snuff in bone of whale and a hollow tube in bones of bird found on the coastal site of Huaca Prieta.

Some of these practices still remain, it is the case of the Yopo or the Epená for example.

The French expression to snuff ( Tobacco to snuff ) is replaced little by little by a Néologisme resulting from English sniffer (to sniff, renifler ).

In the event of division of the straws , there exist of the transmission risks infectious type Hépatite. At certain users, a repeated and prolonged practice can induce Nécrose S of the nasal walls.

From a psychopathological point of view, this practice consists of a diversion of the respiratory function in order to obtain a deterioration of the conscience. In the Western companies, she testifies to a passage to the act combining transgression (going beyond of the Tabou to Drug ) and autoagression.

Injection

It is a practice aiming at introducing under pressure a Liquide into a Blood-vessel or a standard fabric Muscle.

The users use the terms shooter or to fix . This practice is emblematic popular image of the drug addict. It is characterized by the users by the violence and the speed of the often qualified effects of flash .

This practice is related to two advanced scientists, initially the extraction of the Alcaloïde S contained in certain plants, and then the invention of the Seringue allowing the introduction of active ingredient into the body.

The evolution of the practices of consumption leading the user to inject itself are generally economic order (the injection requires less product).

This practice is regarded as a practice at the risk because of the health hazards related to the practice in itself (Infection, Thrombose, Toxicomanie, Overdose) and because of the transmission risks infectious type Hépatite or AIDS in the event of division of the Seringue S. the abandonment of this practice generally passes by a weaning even of the programs of substitution.

The policies of reduction of the risks set up various programs aiming at decreasing the danger of this practice like the programmes of exchanges of syringes, the sites of supervised injection.

Oral way

This practice is often ritualisée in the traditional companies where the ingestion of a psychotropic substance is often accompanied by nausea S, the dizzy spell S or Vomissement S included in the Rituel as for the Ayahuasca, the Sinicuichi, the Ololiuqui or the Peyotl for example.

Certain psychotropic must be jointly used in order to preserve the active ingredient of it, it is the case for example of the Diméthyltryptamine (DMT) which must be introduced with inhibiting of monoamine oxidase (IMAO) not to be degraded by the Enzyme S persons in charge of the Digestion. This type of interaction between various products is known in an empirical way via the use of the Ayahuasca or the Noix of arec for example.

Concerning “drugs of synthesis”, their presentation in the form of a tablet to be swallowed returns their consumption perceived as more alleviating on behalf of the users who have thus less brakes to consume.
