Abstract

Droge u suvremenom društvu nerijetko istovremeno predstavljaju nešto protiv čega se treba
boriti i nešto što treba normalizirati. Droge i njihova uloga u društvu proučava se kroz
objašnjenja sociohistorijskog i socijalnog pristupa drogama kao i kroz neke od bitnih socioloških
teorija: Beckerova teorija etiketiranja i sekvencijalni model devijantnosti, Youngov sociofarmakološki pristup drogama, pristup drogama teorija delinkventne subkulture, koncept moralne
panike i najvažnije, teza o normalizaciji upotrebe droga Parkera, Measham i Aldridge. Osim
izvorne teze o normalizaciji, u teorijski dio rada, uključene su i novije studije koje propituju tezu
o normalizaciji ovisno o različitim socio-demografskim kontekstima. Za potrebe propitivanja
teze o normalizaciji, provedeno je istraživanje na prigodnom uzorku od 343 studenata u
Republici Hrvatskoj. U istraživanju korištena je kvantitativna metoda ankete te je instrument
prikupljanja podataka bio online upitnik. Upitnik je sastavljen tako da se mogu propitati osnovne
komponente teze o normalizaciji kroz stavove studenata o upotrebi droga, o korisnicima droga te
obrasce konzumacije među studentima. Analiza podataka bazira se najviše na frekvencijama, ali
i usporedbi aritmetičkih sredina. Prema rezultatima, ne može se reći da je među hrvatskim
studentima došolo do normalzacije upotrebe droga prema postavkama izvorne teze. S druge
strane, prisutna je normalozacija upotrebe marihuane. S obzirom na rezultate, potrebno je
provesti daljnja istraživanja ove teme u Republici Hrvatskoj, ali i šire.

Abstract (english)

Drugs in modern society are often both something to be fought and something to be normalized.
Drugs and their role in society are explained through socio-historical and social approaches to
drugs as well as through some of the important sociological theories: Becker's labeling theory
and sequential model of deviance, Young's socio-pharmacological approach to drugs, drug
approach of delinquent subculture theory, moral panics concept and most importantly, a thesis on
the normalization of drug use by Parker, Measham, and Aldridge. In addition to the original
thesis on normalization, the theoretical part of the paper includes recent studies that question the
thesis of normalization depending on different socio-demographic contexts. For the research it
was used a quantitative survey method and the data collection instrument was an online
questionnaire. The questionnaire is designed so that the basic components of the thesis on
normalization can be questioned through students' attitudes about drug use, drug users, and
patterns of consumption among students. Data analysis is mostly based on frequencies, but also
on the comparison of means. According to the results, it cannot be said that among Croatian
students there has been a normalization of drug use according to the original thesis. On the other
hand, there is a normalization of marihuana use. Given the results, it is necessary to conduct
further research on this topic in the Republic of Croatia.
