Psychoactive Aging: practices, senses, and generational aspects of drug use.
aging; psychoactive; counterculture
The consume of psychoactive substances in old age is approached from an ethnographic perspective. Some friends who are aging in Salvador-BA and Natal-RN were the interlocutors in this construction. We record and discuss how modes of drug consume have varied in their life courses, focusing on generational aspects and outcomes of aging. We present how this consumption is performed today, which sociability networks are triggered and the meaning field of these practices.
