Sociology
Becker proclaimed that cannabis use was:
increasing throughout all sections of youth in the 1970s
learned gradually through the social processes of a deviant career
a dangerous pastime that young people should not be allowed to pursue
not as enjoyable as other sociologists had suggested
learned gradually through the social processes of a deviant career
Drug addiction is shaped by social as well as psychological and physiological factors. Howard Becker, who introduced the labelling theory of deviance, looked at the ways in which people became socialized into illegal drug use (specifically cannabis) through their interactions with others. He identified the ‘deviant career’, through which beginners might drift into occasional and then regular use: this depended on their learning the techniques of smoking marijuana, learning to perceive these effects, and finally learning to enjoy them, in the company of others. 255-257
