Drug culture refers to the set of behaviors, beliefs, and actions that are influenced by the use of illegal drugs. It encompasses the attitudes and practices of individuals who engage in the illicit consumption of controlled substances, and the social norms and values that emerge from this behavior. Drug culture is characterized by a range of practices, including drug use, drug trafficking, drug-related crime, and drug-related health problems. It is often associated with a subculture that is defined by its members’ shared experiences and values related to drug use. 2, record 1, English, - drug%20culture

In 1970, the Ford Foundation initiated the Drug Abuse Survey Project to pinpoint more precisely what should be done to combat drug abuse. Its final report, Dealing with Drug Abuse..., analyzed in detail the great gaps in basic knowledge of drug actions within the body, psychological factors involved in deciding to use drugs, and the role of drugs in contemporary American society; it also made a strong appeal for more research. The report's practical outcome was the creation of the Drug Abuse Council(DAC), which funded studies on illicit drug abuse from 1971 until 1978. 3, record 3, English, - Drug%20Abuse%20Council

The English term "drug" has a less restrictive meaning than its French cognate "drogue". In English it not only conveys the meaning of any substance, whether legally available or not, which causes addiction, but also that of any substance intended for use in the treatment of a disease with or without a prescription. In French the primary meaning is that of an illicit substance, despite a more generic use found in legal contexts(Food and Drugs Act=Loi des aliments et drogues). Intrinsically more specific, the French favor the use of "produit pharmaceutique" and "médicament", as well as derivatives thereof, e. g. "pharmacodépendance, toxicomanie, etc. Consequently, in the case of "drug withdrawal syndrome", the use of "drogue"(i. e. substance that causes addiction) is not entirely inappropriate. 2, record 7, English, - drug%20withdrawal%20syndrome

The English term "drug" has a less restrictive meaning than its French cognate "drogue". In English it not only conveys the meaning of any substance, whether legally available or not, which causes addiction, but also that of any substance intended for use in the treatment of a disease with or without a prescription. In French the primary meaning is that of an illicit substance, despite a more generic use found in legal contexts(Food and Drugs Act=Loi des aliments et drogues). Intrinsically more specific, the French favor the use of "produit pharmaceutique" and "médicament", as well as derivatives thereof, e. g. "pharmacodépendance, toxicomanie, etc. Consequently, in the case of "pathological drug intoxication", the use of "drogue"(i. e. substance that causes addiction) is not entirely inappropriate. 2, record 14, English, - pathological%20drug%20intoxication
