Over 400 secondary school students and 50 contemporary musicians were interviewed or tested in a study of the relationship between 'pop' and drug attitudes and practices. In an analysis of students' musical preferences, 'Blues', 'Folk' and 'Country' factors were identifiable. Students—and also musicians—who preferred 'Blues' tended to be more attracted by such drugs as LSD, speed and tobacco than did the other students. There was little agreement between students as to the meaning of particular pop numbers.

The extraordinary character of the drug industry and drug markets arises from the fact that research-intensive exchange-values are combined with exceptional use-values. The special form of circulation of drugs can be viewed as the outcome of this special "value-character." The roots of the peculiarities of drugs and drug history are in the exceptional use-values of drugs. They are partly explained by the special position which health and illness occupy in the hierarchy of human needs and partly by the logic of developed capitalism which has generated new use-values for the drugs. The purpose of this article is to examine the origin and development of these questions and the implications which these peculiarities have for modern drug policy.
