Resumen

In this work we try to study the historical transformations that the use of drugs had during times. We will speak of 
the process of commerce and discovery of many chemical substances. Then we will listen to the works of several 
writers that describe their experiences with some substances. At last, we reference the appearing of communities of 
drug addicts with high levels of psycho-social deterioration that exemplify the experience with drugs as a tragic 
one. All this work will help us to understand, in his complexity, the experience of drug use as a discovery and 
alienation of the self. The anthropological dilemma that nowadays the drug users have to deal with.
