ABSTRACT
Drugs use at party contexts has increased in recent decades. Drugs
dealing facilitates consumer access to substances, whose sales practices
vary according to drugs use, places for the consumption and the
drug social function. Drug dealing is socially constructed from a set
of practices ranging from reasons to dealing and those related to the
consolidation as a common practice.
The aim of this research was to describe and analyze the drugs
users´ experience in party contexts, about their dealer´s construction
process. An interpretative multiple-case study with the snowball technique
was carried out to get the participants. The information was
obtained by a semi-structured interview and nonparticipant observation
at the dealing places.
The information obtained points out the group´s participation
on the selection of the dealer as the initiation of drugs dealing, the
extroversion features and communication skills as an important profile
to be a dealer; specially, the capability to satisfy the group´s emotional
request through the drugs. Also, benefits as acceptation, protection
and the warmth from the group and the economical earning. The
dealer/businessmen consolidation is socially constructed according
to the new identity assumed, the group participation and the specific
activities as a business.
