Transitions into more harmful forms of illicit drug use among youth have been
identified as important foci for research and intervention. In settings around
the world, the transition to crystal methamphetamine (meth) use among youth is
considered a particularly dangerous and growing problem. Epidemiological evidence
suggests that, particularly among young, street-involved populations, meth use is
associated with numerous sex- and drug-related "risks behaviors" and negative
health outcomes. Relatively few studies, however, have documented how youth
themselves understand, experience and script meth use over time. From 2008 to
2012, we conducted over 100 in-depth interviews with 75 street-entrenched youth
in Vancouver, Canada, as well as ongoing ethnographic fieldwork, in order to
examine youth's understandings and experiences of meth use in the context of an
urban drug scene. Our findings revealed positive understandings and experiences
of meth in relation to other forms of drug addiction and unaddressed mental
health issues. Youth were simultaneously aware of the numerous health-related
harms and social costs associated with heavy meth use. Over time, positive
understandings of meth may become entirely contradictory to a lived reality in
which escalating meth use is a factor in further marginalizing youth, although
this may not lead to cessation of use. Recognition of these multiple truths about
meth, and the social structural contexts that shape the scripting of meth use
among youth in particular settings, may help us to move beyond moralizing debates
about how to best educate youth on the "risks" associated with meth, and towards
interventions that are congruent with youth's lived experiences and needs across
the lifecourse.
