摘要: Until very recently the term female drug user conjured up an image of a shadowy emaciated black addict streetwalker: devious, dirty, and desperate for another fix. The woman behind this stereotype is not norm, as researchers have been discovering. Middle-class prescription users by far outnumber their ghetto sisters. In itself, narcotics often engage in property crimes, shoplifting short con games. Yet “jive dope fiend whoe”* haunting one, since she represents, some sense, pariah pariahs, contradicting norms both sobriety sexual ownership, being pleasure-seeker who rents her favors.
