Produktbeschreibung
Substance misuse and high risk behaviour including initiation and addiction to various psychedelic substances of misuse is a field which has been studied extensively by numerous researchers both national and international. Many of these studies have been concerned with social inequalities and its influence on substance misuse behaviour, especially in the lower socioeconomic or socioeconomic deprivation context. Lesser studies have been done which delves into and unravels the factors which influence risk seeking behaviour including psychedelic substance misuse among affluent sections of society where the seemingly adverse factors encouraging initiation of substance misuse behaviour or risk seeking behaviour are absent.
