Living with Drugs explores topics surrounding their control, use and risk of misuse. The conclusions in this book are drawn from the seminar held at the EHESS in Paris during the years 2015-2017. It involved anthropologists, sociologists, historians, philosophers, economists, lawyers, doctors, psychiatrists, health center workers, community activists, users and former drug users. The seminar, like the resulting book, is based on a transversal approach to disciplines, space and time, and a confluence of academic, practical and experiential knowledge.

Alessandro Stella is Research Director at CNRS and Professor at EHESS, France. Having studied workers’ revolts, slavery and interbreeding, gender relations and sexuality, in recent years he has devoted himself to research in the field of drugs. Anne Coppel is an activist in drug law reform and human rights. Now retired, she was formerly President of the Association Francaise de Reduction des Risques (AFR), and a public health sociologist with a focus on drug policy, HIV/AIDS and sex workers.
