Abstract:Diplomska naloga se osredotoča na zapleteno in večplastno naravo uporabe prepovedanih drog, natančneje na izkušnje in kakovost življenja aktivnih uporabnikov prepovedanih drog. Preverjamo njihove izkušnje in doživljanje ob prvi uporabi ter ob trenutni uporabi drog. Prav tako ugotavljamo, kako aktivna uporaba prepovedanih drog vpliva na kakovost življenja zasvojencev in skušamo prepoznati morebitne spremembe kakovosti življenja, ki jih zasvojenost prinaša. V teoretičnem delu s pomočjo strokovne literature podrobno opišemo zgodovino prepovedanih drog, opredelitve, pomen izrazov in klasifikacijo prepovedanih drog. Izhajajoč iz konteksta uporabe prepovedanih drog v Sloveniji smo podrobneje opisali šest najbolj razširjenih prepovedanih drog, in sicer heroin, kokain, amfetamin, LSD, konoplja in ekstazi (MDMA). V nadaljevanju natančno predstavimo dejavnike tveganja in posledice, povezane z njihovim uživanjem in hkrati razpoložljive zdravstvene in socialne mehanizme odzivanja, namenjene reševanju izzivov, povezanih z zlorabo drog. Posledice prežemajo različna področja naše družbe. Ob dejstvu, da so vse snovi s psihoaktivnimi lastnostmi potencialna droga, njihova zloraba in s tem povezani problemi lahko posredno ali neposredno vplivajo na vsakega posameznika. Težave se kažejo v kompleksnih političnih in socialnih problemih, kot so brezdomstvo, psihiatrične motnje, kriminaliteta mladih, povečevanje nasilja in korupcije ter ogrožanje javnega zdravja in varnosti (Evropsko poročilo o drogah 2023). V empiričnem delu predstavimo ugotovitve kvalitativno izvedene raziskave. Podatke smo zbrali s pomočjo polstukturiranih intervjujev, ki smo jih opravili z osmimi aktivnimi uporabniki prepovedanih drog. Analiza pridobljenih podatkov ponuja poglobljeno, celovito in niansirano razumevanje različnih vidikov, ki se nanašajo na njihove doživljanje in izkušnje uživanja prepovedanih drog. Čeprav naša raziskava razgalja številne negativne posledice za kakovost njihovega življenja in medosebne odnose, razkriva tudi pozitivne izkušnje, na primer pri ustvarjalnosti. Z raziskovanjem izzivov želimo prispevati k celovitemu razumevanju zapletenosti uporabe prepovedanih drog in njenih širših posledic za posameznike in družbo na splošno.

Title:EXPERIENCES AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF AN ACTIVE PROHIBITED DRUG USER
Abstract:The thesis focuses on the complex and multifaceted nature of illicit drug use, specifically exploring the experiences and quality of life of active illicit drug users. We meticulously examine their encounters with first-time use of such substances as well as their current experiences. Moreover, we investigate how drug addiction affects their quality of life and assess any changes it may bring in this aspect. In the theoretical part, we use the literature to comprehensively describe the history of illicit drugs, their definitions, terminology and classification. Within the context of drug use in Slovenia, we detail the six most commonly used illicit drugs: heroin, cocaine, amphetamine, LSD, cannabis and ecstasy (MDMA). We subsequently detail the risk factors and consequences of their use, while exploring available health and social response mechanisms to address the drug use challenges. The far-reaching consequences significantly impact various aspects of our society. Given that all substances with psychoactive properties can potentially be used as drugs, their abuse and the problems associated with them can directly or indirectly affect every individual. These problems manifest in complex political and social issues such as homelessness, psychiatric disorders, youth criminality, violence, corruption, and threats to public health and safety (European Drugs Report 2023). The empirical part is based on qualitative research. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with eight active illicit drug users. The analysis provides an in-depth, comprehensive and nuanced understanding of various aspects related to their experiences with drug use. While numerous negative consequences for their quality of life and interpersonal relationships were identified, the study also reveals some positive experiences. By exploring these challenges, we aim to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the complexity of illicit drug use and its wider implications for individuals and society at large.
