Amphetamine use: crystal gazing into the new millennium: Part Two - alternative paths

The first part of this paper (Klee 2001) aimed to uncover the psychological, social, cultural and economic forces that drive the persisting demand for the amphetamines in many communities across the world. The evidence so far reveals many cross-cultural similarities in the use of amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS - see Note 1) despite the diverse environments in which they appear. The rapid emergence of the Global Village via the Internet, the impact of developed nations on the less developed, changed boundaries in Europe and the dismantling there of barriers to cross-border traffic may together partly account for this. The cultural and national identities are as pronounced as ever but the intrinsic attractions of the drugs are strong and appeal to similar groups irrespective of context. The global increase in production, trafficking and consumption of ATS reported by the United Nations Drug Control Programme (UNDCP 1996) confirms the universality and strength of their allure.
