The Lived Experiences of People Who Use Methamphetamine
Fri, Nov 18, 9:30 to 10:50am, Hilton, Quarterdeck A, Riverside ComplexSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
Recent anti-meth campaigns have adopted graphic images to portray users poor, rural Whites who have undergone severe mental, emotional and physical deterioration due to chronic use of the drug. These ads portray users as one-dimensional characters devoid of agency. This is not the lived experiences of users. This panel brings together recent research from the point of view of those who use methamphetamine to provide a more realistic portrait of users. The papers discuss the value of seeking users’ perspectives to understand how they experience violence, how they assess and manage risks of using and cooking, and how they define themselves against the backdrop of anti-meth campaigns.
