This text's main scope is to bring to the fore a more in-depth approach to drugs, cultural relativism and the construction of a distorted discourse historically constructed around the concept/prejudice, the use and abuse of some drugs. Thus,the need for a balanced and integrated understanding of drug problems is essential today as an increasingly instigating and problematic phenomenon in our society.Therefore, in addition to theoretical-conceptual exploration in bibliographic sources, biographical narratives of an addict person who, of her own free will, through the open interview technique, volunteered to reveal the forms and causes that led them to become a drug addict. In the conclusive results, the present writing reveals the conflicts and dilemmas faced and revealed in the biographical narratives of the participant of this study.
