Drogen unter Jugendlichen

Bis 1960 war in der BRD z.B. in Berlin nur selten der Missbrauch von Betäubungsmitteln zu beobachten. Doch aufgrund der Hippiebewegung, die in der zweiten Hälfte der 60er Jahre in den USA entstand und deren Grundanliegen „die Verwirklichung einer humaneren Welt durch Verweigerung des Strebens nach materiellem Wohlstand und Karriere sowie die Beseitigung bürgerl. Tabus in einer freien, friedvollen, naturbezogenen, auf ekstat. Glückserleben in Liebe, Musik und Rauschmittelgenuss gerichteten Gemeinschaft" (dtv Lexikon, F.A. Brockhaus, Mannheim, 1990) ist, brach dann, was die Häufigkeit des Drogenmissbrauchs betrifft, eine regelrechte Epidemie aus. In den folgenden Jahren wurden die verwendeten Drogen immer härter, und die Konsumenten, laut Statistiken, immer jünger.

Doch was versteht man eigentlich unter Drogen und gibt es verschiedene Erscheinungsformen?

Drogen sind Substanzen, die in die natürlichen Abläufe des menschlichen Körpers eingreifen und so Stimmungs-, Wahrnehmungs- und Gefühlsänderungen hervorrufen. Zu solchen zählen nicht nur die illegalen Drogen, wie Haschisch , LSD , Kokain , Heroin usw., deren Besitz, Herstellung und Weitergabe in der Bundesrepublik durch das Betäubungsmittelgesetz verboten sind, sondern auch die sogenannten legalen Volksdrogen, wie z.B Alkohol, Nikotin und Medikamente. Hierbei ist allerdings zu bemerken, dass sich die in der BRD bedauerlilcher Weise immernoch legale Drogen bei Missbrauch in ihrer zerstörerischen Weise von den illegalen Drogen nicht unterscheiden. Drogen werden im rechtlichen, sowie im medizinischen Sinne in zwei Sparten unterteilt, in die „weichen", und die sogenannten „harten" Drogen. Den Unterschied der harten zu weichen Drogen machen vor allem die Stärke der Droge und die mit dem Beendigen des Drogenkonsums verbundenen physischen Probleme (Entzugserscheinungen) aus. Das heißt, man unterscheidet zwischen zwei Formen der Abhängigkeit, die separat, aber auch gleichzeitig auftreten

    In the 1950s the United States was marked by economic growth and an increase in manufacturing and home construction due to the post WWII economic boom. The Cold War also began during this time frame and brought with it many conflicts that helped create the proliferation of a politically conservative environment throughout the country. The fear of communism resulted in many Congressional hearings and prevalence of an anti communist sentiment. During this time period society was characterized by a spirit of conformity and conservatism. The film, “The Beat Generation: An American Dream,” described this era as “…socially conservative and highly materialistic in nature.” (The Beat Generation: An American Dream. Dir. Janet Forman. Perf. Steve Allen, David Amram, Amiri Baraka. 1987). Major events that occurred during the era include the Korean War, the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, and an anti communist sentiment resulting in the Red Scare and McCarthyism. Although the 1950s is categorized as a time of compliance and conformity in United States history, it was also a period that triggered social unrest resulting in the social upheaval of the 1960s (Francev, Kimberly, Ph.D. "Lectures 1-9." Lecture. 11 Feb. 2013. Www.d2l.arizona.edu. 01 Jan. 2013. Web. 11 Feb. 2013). This paper will outline all of the social, political, and economic conditions of the 1950s that helped create the climate of social unrest in the 1960s.…

    After World War II ended, the age of baby-booming and urban sprawling began. During this time, many American soldiers came home from the war; married, and had five or six children. This created the largest generation ever. Could this new generation change the social world of America? In 1964, most of the baby-boomer's children were in their late teens. This was the beginning of a major social change in the United States. With the birth of rock-n-roll not far in the past, and a growing liberalism of the normally conservative American Society, it is no wonder that a powerful hallucinogenic drug called LSD gained so much popularity.…

    The Jazz Age, the Age of Intolerance, The Age of Wonderful Nonsense was the era better known as the Roaring Twenties. This era pioneered the way to modern America. This decade followed the conclusion of World War I, “the war to end all wars”. The United States experienced a radical change socially, economically, politically and innovatively. The 1920’s would be an era where the identity of the United States would evolve and become a staple in modern society. “The most vivid impressions of that era are flappers and dance halls, movie palaces and radio empires and prohibition and speakeasies.” (Zeitz, n.d.)…

    1920 Reforms

    The 1920’s more commonly known, as the “Golden Twenties” was a decade that history will forever mourn. The twenties set the stage for many of the most popular social attractions, still seen around the world, nearly a century later. The nickname of the century brought with it much fame, fortune and social celebration following the end of horrific war. People walked to streets feeling jolly and attended lavish parties, regardless the day of the week. Although these “Golden Days” were seen by most of society as a time for celebration and merriment, the era wasn’t without its faults. The “Golden Days” had to make room for a boom; quickly the 1920’s changed, showing renewed focus on global effort for lasting peace. Many sought out bans on alcohol, saying it caused the means by which another war could begin. The 1920’s began to be viewed as a time of correction and reconstruction of one’s moral values, basing them upon things of worth.…

    America was in a jazz age in 1920s. Its economy developed so fast that most American people had begun to get a sense that “World War I” had brought so many material benefits to them, with unprecedented enthusiasm; they closed doors to purchase wealth and pleasure insanely. They not only think they are placed in one of the most brilliant era in human’s history and mesmerize in it, but also believe that the time will continue endlessly. Social structure and people’s behavior and psychology have changed so profoundly: the middle class expanded rapidly, personal consumption expansion, the changing of people's moral concept. "This is an era that the popularity of puritanism and drinking, is also an era when psychological analysis, jazz music and girls become coquettish frivolous. People’s this kind of concept is the reason why American dream disillusioned.…

    In America’s 1920’s there was a huge clash of beliefs and opinions. A new modern outlook had appeared and many peopled followed it. There were many conflicts between these new viewpoints like the famed, Scopes “Monkey” Trial and the 18th Amendment which prohibited the manufacture, sale, transport, import, or export of alcoholic beverages. The 1920’s was a decade of reform in almost every aspect of society; life was modernizing. Americans experienced a differentiating of opinions throughout the decade of the 1920's traditionally such as the Ku Klux Klan; however, modernity was more successful in its appeal to Americans in the 1920's and ultimately changed American values because of new technologies like washing machines and flashy, showy actions like jazz that lured…

    Without delay, the book influenced the nation by perpetuating the psychedelic/hippie movement in America. It brought forth a new generation that was unsatisfied with the suburban lifestyle and sought dangerous, potentially precarious, alternatives (Tryin to Go Further: The Electric Acid Kool-Aid Test). As well, participants in the psychedelic movement were frequently organizers of protests against the Vietnam War. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test takes you through the culture of the the psychedelic movement in the ‘60s that is an ambiguous, but critical fragment from the decade. Without the psychedelic movement, the dangers of the lifestyle that participants led may be unknown and still practiced…

    The 1920’s were seen as a prosperous time for America, judging by the increasing economic strength, the development of new industries and new methods of production and, by the time of rebellion and liberation that came with it. The 1920’s are often reffered to as the ‘Roaring Twenties’ or the Jazz Age, a period of great fun and enjoyment. However, not everyone agreed with the statement that the 1920’s were completely successful, highlighting some major problems that America had to face at that time, specifically intolerance and prohibition.…

    1960s Counterculture

    Television situation comedies created ideal families and contenting distractions from unsettling national realities. Mainstream media, both fact and fiction, influenced the nation's minds resulting in the effect of political change and further media influence over the government. The new decade, along with the effects of the Vietnam War and the strong influence of television, began to leak from the cracks of the nation a new counterculture of rebellious teenagers, unfamiliar narcotics, and a wave of promiscuity. Among the many issues and events molding our nation into a new decade, came the question of government and mind control. For some it was the next step into human evolution, a potential tool for mind control, a liberator of human kind, but for most LSD helped define 1960s counterculture, in which it was…

    The 1920s was an era of declined social and moral values, as shown by its increased pursuit of pleasure. When World War I ended in 1918, the young Americans who had fought the war became deeply disillusioned, as the battles that they had just fought in made the Victorian social morality of the early 1920s seem like hypocrisy. This caused those that had fought in the war to not care as much about upholding traditional morals. Also, since World War I was the “war to end all wars,” Americans were quite optimistic during the 1920s. The uncontrolled satisfaction that led to self-indulgent parties and wild jazz music resulted ultimately in the corruption of the American dream, as the uninhibited desire for pleasure exceeded other, less important goals. Americans’ pursuit of pleasure in the 1920s resulted ultimately in a decline in values. Many of the values of today’s dream are similar to those of the 1920s. The dream today does consist of pleasure and happiness. However, the dream of the 1920s was to put a much stronger emphasis on it than today’s dream does. The values and morals today are also more widely accepted by the general public. An example of this is women wearing bathing suits to a public beach. In the 1920s, it was bad enough that those bathing suits were even the least bit revealing. Today, however, it is perfectly acceptable for women to wear bikinis to a public beach, which are much more revealing than those of the 1920s. This is because the standard has gradually…
